MEGA BUSY BAG IDEAS Part 2

Busy Bags are a great way to have activities for kids set up and ready to grab and go. I've shown busy bags before for the late toddler and early preschool age. Now I'm upgrading to kindergarten and first grade. I hope to inspired you to create your own age appropriate busy bags so that you can have activities for kids too.

HEY, HEY ya guys! Here are my current BUSY BAGS!

[@mariebrown5729]

Love those blue containers to store erasers/ dice - dominos

[@kristine_nyc]

Thanks for these new busy bag ideas! I put together a bunch when my daughter was 2 because of your channel. I used the metal rings to keep like-minded bags together (letters, numbers, shapes, etc), and she could easily access them in our living room. Now that she's 4 and about to start Pre-K, I'm way overdue to update them with new skills. Thanks for all the ideas!

[@elizabethwalker168]

I made my 4 and 3 year old busy bags. Now they have learning binders and I cooperate the busy bags to go with their learning binders. I change up often. Thanks you purple alphabet.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh I love that!!! I bet that works really well. Great idea!

[@eagleswing865]

I have just discovered your channel recently, looking at phonics learning. I have a 21 month old who is obsessed with the alphabet and baby due this fall. I love your affordable approach to Montessori. I like the Montessori ideas but so often it feels overwhelming to need all these really expensive materials. I love the balance and sensible approach here. Thanks!

[@sarahdiane359]

I went back and watched the other busy bag video first since I have a toddler and I just wanted to tell you that you’ve really grown with your production skills on your channel. Awesome! ☺️

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you!

[@rosebudhenderson4685]

I have two girls that are 11 and a girl 14 and son 10 I love 😍 u watch all ur videos and that really helps me

[@FunWithMama]

Thank you for sharing your Busy Bags for older kids. I feel like when the children get older it gets a bit more difficult. I like that Busy Bags can be used within Kids Play Trays too so it's very versatile.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

It is harder when they are older, but it can be done! And yes! Love your idea with play trays!

[@lindatorres-lopez8306]

This was perfect. Gave me some great ideas for not just busy bags but for homeschool as well

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh perfect! I love hearing that!

[@simplyraisingarrows7369]

We store ours in a big binder keeper !!! So easy to just grab and go or leave in the van !

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh that's perfect! What a great idea!

[@wingswithinbeyond4534]

Love these! I have some of this stuff for my littles....very interested in what you shared.... thank you for sharing these ideas and where to get them! 😁💜 I love dollar tree hauls and just found out about the target bins! So awesome!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Well, you're in luck because I have a dollar shop with me coming up soon!

[@malasraju]

Absolutely awesome...im so obsessed with your ideas... Keep doing so many activities for my 7 year old and 2 year old,they are so happy doing all the activities😀

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you soooo much! I appreciate your comment. Thank you for watching today!

[@fizzaraza5590]

Thank you! This is so helpful

[@marykimble5214]

Love love love these busy bags

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Yay!!!

[@hectorchavez1785]

Hello I love your videos and I think you should do a video with all three organizing I love you and Yep

[@serranosolutions]

I was given a Tell Me a Story game similar to the story dice, but the pictures are on rocks instead of dice. While the dice can hold more images to write about, I like the rock idea as it is free except for paint for the pictures on the rocks

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh that sounds beautiful! Love it!!

[@preethialagiri1730]

Love your videos... would you please make a video how you have organized all the activity stuffs.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you so much! Here are all my organization videos - kzbin.info/aero/PL25ORrARxlo9TmjrUOAyK8nXv5X8mzfFl

[@tarah7050]

Awesome! Your due for another Target haul video. 😉

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

You are right, I am. It's coming. :) Working on it now.

[@Whitney_Sews]

You mentioned a video for jenga activities. Can you link me to it? Can't remember seeing it.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Opps! Forgot that one! HEre ya go kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHm5gYGChqtsqtU

[@chivonharrington7061]

Hi.I would like to to know if you have a idea for 10 year old boy with the bags.

[@mausamivasha]

Love it. Thank you

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you for watching today!

[@simplyraisingarrows7369]

Love your channel!!! Mine are 15,14,9 and 4!!!!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you so much!!!

[@kayesmith2518]

Great ideas! I like the money bag bc it actually looks like real $$ . I don't like the target $spot one bc of the colors

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Those are great for imaginative play for under 3 years!

[@erlyne0]

I love these busy bag ideas! Thank you for your inspiration. :o)

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Yay! I love hearing that. So glad you are inspired!!

[@PrachiGupta17]

Wow such great ideas!!! When are you planning for Target haul? I am eagerly waiting for that video :)

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Soon!!! Promise!

[@jesslaissa]

You are the best! 👏🏻

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

YOU ARE TOO!

[@sammiraebrown5543]

Hey, I’m new to your channel, my little guy is almost two and I think after the holidays I may put some busy bags together for him. What would be some budget friendly ones for a 2 yr old? Thanks

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

How fun! I'd take a look at the videos in my toddler playlist.

[@poojabhatia9677]

Thanks alot for ur videos.. I eagerly wait for ur videos... Pls do more videos thanks alot

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you so much! That is so kind!

[@ashleybaca1705]

These are great! What do you do with your leftover busy bags and restaurant kits? Would you ever consider putting them in giveaways?

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Usually go to friends with younger kids!

[@ashleybaca1705]

@@ThePurpleAlphabet oh 😟

[@aprilknutson2809]

Do your kids willingly go to these or do you tell them to do them? Is it like a set time or a “I’m bored” activity.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

At first, I worked with them on it since they were really young and needed instruction. Plus, they were only to be used with supervision because of small parts. Now they know what they are and request to do them or go and pull them out themselves. They are in my learning closet, so they aren't always available, but they often ask. Otherwise, if there is a skill I want to work on, I'll bring it out and work with them.

[@simplyraisingarrows7369]

Target got the letter clothespins back now !!!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Wonderful!

[@LearnandPlayEveryday]

I’d love to see a diy toy video. You did one before with blocks, I think for Daniel Tiger.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh man, I haven't done that in a while, maybe with my cricut!

[@BrendaGarcia-de6ft]

Hi I have a 4, 8 and 10 year old

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

That's awesome, wide range of ages!

[@alejandrina1985]

Awesome ideas!!!! Thank you very much!❤

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Yay! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for watching and commenting today too.

[@carronbenoit6006]

Hey do you know where you got the word cards from (the one with the pictures, word, and separate letters)?

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

You know what, it's been forever.... at least five years. I can't remember.

[@carronbenoit6006]

@@ThePurpleAlphabet ok thank you. I saw some from curious minds I think (I think on Etsy) I was hoping to find some free ones but I might just buy them. I love the content you put out. I feel like my daughter is behind on a lot of things. She's 5 & has a hard time retaining information. So I've been looking for content to see what I can do to help. She's reluctant to learning letter and number recognition and I'm not sure exactly why or if I'm doing something wrong. She was late on a lot of things due to being born prematurely now I feel like we're playing catch up because I didn't do enough in the beginning. IDK. But your videos inspire me to do better!!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

i went to etsy and looked at that shop and I think that's where I got it! You could also make your own too, super easy one to make! I don't think you are doing anything wrong, she is working at her own pace. Keep on doing what you are doing, repetition will work over time. You're doing great!

[@carronbenoit6006]

@@ThePurpleAlphabet aww thank you! That means a lot!

[@mausamivasha]

Pls share Link to 3D shapes activities. Not sure how I missed it. Are those printable free?

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Yes, the link is in the description box! Enjoy the free printable!

[@elizabethwalker168]

Do a drawing for busy bag items you no longer use to pass them on to another momma.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

That's a great idea! I do pass them on to friends!

[@julhege11]

When did you start busy bags? (Age or needed skills)

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

It really depends on the child. I started around 18 months with some simple activities, but my I felt my kids were ready for them.

[@teresaquiroz2519]

i have a 1 year old baby girl

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Aw, how sweet!
