Busy Bag Central goes public!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to host a vendor booth at a local kids consignment sale! It was a great opportunity to chat with other moms about what interests their preschoolers.

The Busy Bags were displayed for sale and the most popular item was the Alphabet Match-up bag. As always, just $3 per bag.

We also had products by a friend who makes/sells the gorgeous flower clips – great for hair or hats or bags, etc.  A few clips were showcased on an uber-cute hat, handmade by Stiches By Sarah (who makes unique, handmade knits). She’s also on Facebook with lots of photos of her products available for purchase!

And the last item offered was our BRAND NEW Busy Bag Kits!!  I’ve had so many requests for a kit that would offer multiple learning activities centered around one theme!  These are inspired by some of the basic learning skills that are key for all kiddos ~ sorting, counting, stringing and more. Plus they have a great theme that allows the preschooler to learn in a way that’s great for their individual interests.

These are available for $25 each plus $5 s/h. A list of all kits available will be posted in another day or so. 
Insider tip: We’ll have a giveaway for one kit to a lucky Facebook fan!  So go on over to Facebook to “Like” us and watch out for the post on the blog and Facebook later this week!

More on the Toothpick Trace busy bag…

Here’s a better photo of one of the tracing pages. As noted in the original post, I made hand-drawn tracing pages using shapes from our puzzles.  After tracing, I went over the lines with a marking in some of my preschooler’s favorite colors.

We have yet to try out this activity because I’m busy hosting a booth for BusyBagCentral at a kids sale this week! (Yay!) Reader Hint: At the sale, I’ll be releasing the new Busy Bag Kits that will include a bunch of great sensory games and bags.  So check back next week for photos and reviews of the new, super-awesome kits!

When life is quieter again, we’ll pull this toothpick activity out for play and I’ll update you on how my four year old likes it! 

It’s worth noting that, when I was making this activity, my son watched me and excitedly said, “I want to do that too!” So we let him trace for the first time on his own paper and the creation of the Busy Bag became a craft in and of itself!
