10 Busy Bag for Kids Ideas

February 16, 2021 Leave a Comment

Here are 10 Busy Bag for Kids Ideas to use as boredom busters as needed. Great kid activities for family travel, restaurants, doctor’s offices, grandma’s house or just for fun at home.

Busy Bag for Kids Ideas

When you think about making a busy bag for your children…think: portability! What can fit in a zippered 3 ring pouch? Because zippered pouches happen to make the BEST busy bags. Generally, they have a window so you can see what’s in it. Which is great for choosing which busy bag to give and when.

You can make several busy bags for kids and bring them out on different points of your family travel (or different days if you are just at home).

Quiet Time

Explain to your children that busy bag = quiet time. They need to play in place quietly.

Busy Bag Activities

Here are a few busy bag activities you might want to include in your bags…
