A busy bag is just what is sounds like. A bag of activities that keep younger or even older kids busy. You can pull them out in the car, when you are working one-on-one with another child, or any other time a child needs a distraction in the right direction. Most of the time the activities include various educational opportunities.
Money saving Mom has a great post with pictures on busy bags.
Brenda @ Unsolicited Advice also has a great post.
Moms Town has instructions on completing some activities.
Training Happy Heart blog has some wonderful ideas.
