I recently signed up for an online preschool busy bag swap hosted by the Unsolisited Advice Blog. I was SOOOO excited as I am always looking for new activities that will keep my curious 3 year old busy while we cut fabric orders here.
I was put into a group of 30 other moms. We each choose an activity bag to create. I choose A-Z Tracing Sheets from Confessions of a Homeschooler. I got to work on my 30 bags! It took some time but I got them all laminated and included a little knit fabric as an eraser.
I sent off the box of 30 activities to the coordinator and I should get a box back in a week or 2 with 30 different bags. I can't wait to see what the ladies come up with! I will keep you all updated!
Here are a few busy bag ideas via pinterest:

How fun are these!!
Over the past two years, I've read about swaps online but no one does them in my area (in MO) and I've seen a lot of other blog readers who want to participate so I've started a site for idea-inspiration as well as the ability to order:
BusyBagCentral.blogspot.com
If you end up with readers who don't have the time or energy to make but want bags to purchase, they can certainly come my way. We're here to help!
(also on FB under BusyBagCentral where we do giveaways for fans)
