Tuesday Tip: Use a tray to contain Busy Bag contents

Since activity bags have small parts, it’s recommended to dump contents of each bag onto a large cookie sheet at the start of play. The lip of the pan will help corral the items and facilitate easy cleanup.  

Also, encourage the child to make the busy bag their own activity – everything from cleaning up on their own, to selecting which bag to use and even allowing them to dump the activity contents into their tray. What child doesn’t love to dump?!?
