Busy Bag Activities for Toddlers

My son is obsessed with anything that remotely resembles a tool, so I know he would love this pocket "toolbox" with felt tools.

This a favorite book at our house and I love this matching game, see the link below for free printables.

This little pouch has different items to "find", along with poly fill beads stuffed inside it. Your toddler moves the beads around to discover the different objects inside.

A simple game of stuffing small pom poms into a hole in the lid of a plastic container.

A cute activity for teaching color matching and recognition. I might try to make the popsicle part out of fleece or cotton material because I think my son might actually try to lick it and that would make the construction paper all yucky.

Fill pairs of balloons with different sensory items from the pantry, like rice, beans, flour, lentils, etc. to make a fun matching game.

Cut up paint chips to make cards that can be used for lots of different activities like sorting, matching, or a memory game.

Make your own stamps with reused bottle caps and adhesive foam stickers. Include a washable ink pad and small notebook and let your little one stamp away.

Help your toddler practice their buttoning skills using sqaures, or other shapes, of felt with a slit in it that they have to put over the button to make the snake.

These are such a cute and fun idea to take playing with simple trucks, cars, or trains to the next level.

A fun stringing activity for younger children who may not be able to string beads yet. Cut up a pool noodle and include some rope (be sure to closely monitor your child) and let your child string the noodle "beads".

So many great ideas for filling bottles with fun things for toddlers to discover and play with, like marbles in shampoo, toy animals in rice, and glitter in glycerin.
