Backpacks for kids are a
necessity and they are
also very helpful for parents of little ones. Have you ever gone to the
doctors office, dentist or hair
salon and had kids that were restless and fussy because they were
bored? Well, if so, then you need to take heed from Trish
Kuffner, author of The Toddlers Busy Book: 365 Creative Games and Activities to Keep Your 1 1/2- to 3-Year-Old Busy. She suggests that
every parent has a Busy Bag for their kids.
A
Busy Bag for kids can include:
Dolls and their clothing, blankets,
and other
accessories
An edible necklace (like cereal or
crackers with
holes in the middle strung on a piece of shoestring licorice)
Favorite toy, stuffed animal, or
blanket
Magnets and a small metal cake pan
Matchbox cars
Simple wooden puzzle
Special snacks
Stickers and a sticker book or
plain notebook
Back
packs,
duffle bags, and diaper bags are great for
parents to use to create their own Busy Bags for kids.
