Activity Bags

My super cool friend Dawn organized an Activity Bag swap for our local moms group. Each mom made 21 bags of the same activity, then we got together and each went home with 20 different activities (Dawn got the extra set of bags for buying the books and organizing the whole thing).

Zara had fun helping me put together our bags for the swap, we made ring toss games out of water bottles and pipe cleaners.
Zara measured and poured the rice into the bottles to weigh them down.


This is what our completed activity bag looks like:



Here is our box full of fun and educational activities! We love them already.


Zara chose to work on the ABC puzzles today, yes, she is in Princess costume & her baby Mia normally works alongside her. The joys of having an imaginative 3-year-old!
