Winter days can get VERY long for preschoolers and toddlers when it’s so cold, rainy or snowy that they can’t go outside — or can’t stay out very long! “Cabin fever” can set it very quickly!
I found a great activity bag tutorial over at ModaBakeShop for kids. Thanks Melissa Ann for providing this tutorial. By the looks of the snow on the ground I believe it really is time for the activity bags!
I have FIVE little grandchildren (4 year old quadruplets and their big brother, 5 year old Jacob), so while Melissa’s activity bag is so awesome looking, last winter I settled on an easier method to make the five I needed.
The “Pre-School” bags I made were (and still are) a great hit with the kids. I guess you could say I took the “lazy” way out — bought five of the recycle bags from Office Depot, decorated them for each child, according to the colors they like, etc and here are the quick and easy activity bags I made.
We later added the name of each child on the bags so they would learn to recognize their names.
We keep coloring books, markers, write-on wipe-off books an crayons in the bags and even on nice days outside, the kids ask for their “pre school” bags!
That is a high-quality read through. I really enjoy this site.
Many thanks for posting.
