I'd like to you meet my new best friends!!!
SWEET GIRL'S BUSY BOXES
When I was preggo with Little Man, I put together several activity bags for Sweet Girl. My thought was that I would give her an activity or two when I was nursing or when I needed to do something. And she played with them.....for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, it usually takes me WAY longer than 5 minutes to do anything these days, so I needed a little longer. So......I took all the activities I had already put together, as well as some extra stuff I found around the house and made these super neat busy boxes. Just looking at them makes me want to be two again!!
Wanna see what's inside our boxes???

The boxes have been great and definitely entertain her for about 30 minutes. I made sure that everything in the boxes (containers, boxes, etc) were easy for her to open so she could do it herself. I plan on changing out the items after several uses just so she doesn't get bored with the boxes. And....since I'm obsessed with the dollar store and dollar section at Target, I'm sure I won't have any trouble finding some new goodies.
What about you? How do you keep your little one "busy"? Please share! I always love finding new ways for Sweet Girl to have some independent play time!
