This fun activity is one of the first I heard of when I stumbled across these types of bags a year ago when I started my {countless hours of} searching. So many moms bragged that this activity was perfect for the waiting time while out'n'about…in the doctor’s office, at church, etc. Several ladies also posted that it could be used while waiting in the grocery store but I force my kids to help when shopping, even my 2 yr old helps…I know, I’m a slave driver. *wink*
Plus the plastic baggie keeps it all tidy and neat. Oh, I should point out the benefits of the baggies used for all busy bags…I use only zipper-topped baggies which are needed because:
1. Little fingers can easily operate the open/close zipper fostering self-help skills (whatever we can do to encourage their own clean-up!)
2. Users can see through and identify the activity without disturbing the contents (no reason to dump just to look inside!)
3. Bags ‘file away’ easily in a box or bag without fear of spilling (can easily fold into a purse or diaper bag for on the go too!).
Here's one of my favorite photos of my two year old learning to work with the button. His little chubby fingers are just so precious!
When I gave him the activity and showed him how to string the first shape, I didn't realize that he had no clue how to manipulate a button. He held it with one hand and just stared! It was a perfect learning tool for both of us! Plus, after completing the activity, he very proudly announced "Me did it!" and clapped then asked to do it again!
