Toddler/Preschool Busy Bag

Many of us have those. The tag-alongs. The students on audit. The needing-attention-while-you-school.
So I prepared some busy bags in the beginning of the school year, to occupy the preschooler and the toddler. Now, the preschooler has school work, so it's the toddler mostly. We found that the busy bags work very well when we go to church and the toddler sits in the service with us.


Before I put everything in a box. I think that's too much and they get bored easier. I'm planning on putting 4 to 5 activities in the box for a couple days and then switch to others.


Here are some we have at the moment and some we'll do.

Wipe clean books. She's ready for them now and not use the marker everywhere else.

The cute church toy

Paper, scissors, paper cutters

Dot magnets and dot a dot alphabet

Mini Connect-Four. No, they cannot play, but they like to put them in.

Dress up dolls. I made the clothes myself. The girls weren't THAT interested in this though.

Puzzles. My littlest LOVE puzzles

Leapfrog farm

Melissa and Doug shape sorter clock

Melissa and Doug alphabet puzzle

Shape and Color book (made by my friend)

File folder game

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
