This no sew car themed busy bag for kids is absolutely adorable!

When I originally made the roads for the magnetic roads (if you haven't checked them out, they are awesome!), I painted an additional ten roads. Initially I was going to make two identical play sets, one for J and one for K. Then I decided, instead, to make a magnetic play set and a non-magnetic play set. This busy bag is the non-magnetic set.
What You'll Need to Make This Car Themed Busy Bag for Kids
Here is what I used:
- Wide craft sticks
- Black acrylic paint
- Yellow acrylic paint
- Felt
- Pipe cleaners
- Pom poms
- Hot glue gun
- Small cars & buildings - I used the Safari Ltd. Down on the Farm Toob and the Safari Ltd. On the Road Toob
Once you have all the pieces made, grab some vehicles and other accessories to finish it off. I used the barn from the Safari Ltd. Down on the Farm Toob and various cars from the Safari Ltd. On the Road Toob. If you have this toob, then you could also add some boats to the water.

ReplyDeleteThank you for pinning, JDaniel4's Mom!
DeleteI love this! We'll be making it for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I'd love to see your version when it's done.
DeleteThis busy bag is so adorable! I just started making one similar to it the other day for my son! Love your ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteCool. Be sure to blog about yours. I'd love to see it too!
DeleteSuch a cute idea! You're so creative:) The kids must love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! J really loves the roads. He's been building letters, numbers, and words using them. Then drives a car along the roads. And K, well, he stretched the trees back into plain old pipe cleaners! Haha! Needless to say, they have been enjoying it.
DeleteThanks for linking this gorgeous idea to Tuesday Tots. I have featured it this week :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring it, Deborah! I appreciate it!
Deletelol, I knew I loved it, I'm featuring it again this week on Tuesday Tots again!
DeleteHahaha, sweet! I only linked it up again because Cerys had put out a request for quiet time activities. But I am always happy to be featured again! :)
DeleteI made a version of this for my daughter after seeing your post. Instead of the craft sticks, I just bought charcoal gray felt and cut strips (and a few curves). I also bought a yard of fabric from JoAnn's, and cut it in half to make a larger, single piece play mat. My daughter loves it! I still have to cut out the lakes for her, and we are planning on making the trees tomorrow, but it's already a great success... and I have left over green felt for another project :) Thanks for a great activity!
ReplyDeleteOh that is fantastic to hear! I am glad that she enjoys it!!
