Busy Bags

A while ago (maybe late Winter, early Spring), I signed up to be part of a busy bag swap.  A busy bag is a zip lock bag with an educationally geared craft or activity in it.  We had 18 moms as part of our swap.  The box sat downstairs for quite some time.  The last time we were going to open the box, Eliot ran towards it, hit his head on the bricks and we ended up at a Dr.'s apt.  Last week, we finally opened the box and played with most of the busy bags.  Eliot had a blast! I couldn't believe it actually because aside from my truck-themed Popsicle stick puzzles, there wasn't another single truck activity in the lot!  It kept us busy for almost a whole entire morning.
