Mega BUSY BAG IDEAS & Organize with Me

[@allysalawson6737]

You have made me fall down a dangerous rabbit hole of wanting all the things 😂

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Sorry!!!!!! :)

[@rebeccarainbow7020]

I just went through our daughter's learning shelf. It has her activities, work books, learning games and her 'busy bags'. She helped me go through most of the bags. I would have her try it to see how well she'd do. She looked at me and would literally tell me, 'Mommy, I don't need this. It's too easy.' She's in Pre-K. We pared down a lot of her stuff. She just brought home a certificate for counting to 100! Thanks to her busy bags! She has started reading Phonics books and she has even read to her class! I can't get over how much she has learned from her busy bags and the activities! We knew she was a smart cookie, and I know that 'her lessons' (as she used to call them) helped too!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

I loved reading this! How awesome. You are doing such a wonderful job and it sounds like she really likes everything!

[@LearnandPlayEveryday]

You’ve given me so many ideas on what to do with my two year old son AND introduced me to Lakeshore Learning!!!! Thanks so much for that! I love that store and taking my little guy there to play. Please continue to make videos because you are providing a service to all of us Moms. I hope this comment finds you well. ~from Sande, south Jersey USA

I like the Alphabet cards with the halagram on a ring and the emotions and mood bag.

[@balboathedog]

You know you are a Purple Alphabet fan when this is like a walk down memory lane. Lol. Remembering the activities and containers from hauls. Knowing what you have and being able to have it at your finger tips is organized to me, you're organized 😄. You have a great system!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

HAHA! That's true! I felt the same way!

[@Sparklespit666]

I am personally not a mom but i hope my boyfriend's kids will love these when ever we do errands

[@yvetteyasui]

YES PLEASE! Love this christina, I had no idea that you had so many of those zipper pencil pouches to keep and store all of your activities! I never know how to store items, so this was a truly truly great video. Watching haul videos are so much fun, but then what do we do with all of that stuff, much of which do not come with storage pouches or boxes. I love that you use the pouches for everything and get rid of box or cheap plastic that these items come in. Organization for pens, markers, crayons, art and craft supplies would be SUPER HELPFUL!!! big love!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you! That is so kind. You can see all of my organization videos in this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PL25ORrARxlo9TmjrUOAyK8nXv5X8mzfFl There are a few you are interested in that have already been made.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Thank you so much for leaving a comment, that means a lot!

[@peatreacebaldry3436]

Now at first we taught them the differnet kinds of emotions etc and said that its ok to express them, that is was ok to be angry and vent but not physically hurt people.

If they were anxious, panicky, tense we would again after they expressed their emotions to calm down by making a hot drink i.e. hot chocolate, hot blackcurrent something that is different so they notice the taste and smell and to take a warm bath and relax. If they are sad, depressed, lonely i.e. wrap up in a blanket and watch their favorite film or tv show or listen to some music esp. songs that will uplift them. We found that it really helps them and that we are involved in the process.

[@barbaraharriott6780]

Really interesting things I loved it.

[@ebombers]

The little fabrics would be great for letting the kids make doll clothes/furniture/blankets for small toys ect. I loved using scrap fabric like that as a child.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

That's a great idea!!

[@ranjiniganeshram4470]

Excellent job. Thanks for your ideas.. this gonna help me

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

[@sistertujuana4834]

Hi, I’m trying to teach my toddler emotions and I was wondering which video on your channel did you talk about that? Also, where did you get your cards? I seem to find a lot of them have animated people vs actual photos of people. Please & thanks 😊

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

I think it was this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3PRfmSJr5iZhNk

[@lizzielizardlipz]

wow so many great finds at Target or dollar spot. I haven't seen anything like this at our dollar stores (Canada)

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

It totally bums me out that there are not Target's in Canada!

[@elodiechanna2344]

you can make sensory bean bags (filled with beans, rice, pasta....). Make 2 of each and then you have a matching game.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Great ideas! Thank you!

[@meoxmix8233]

[@SavedByLove22]

I have a KZbinr that I watch that she has a website set up were when she goes through things she reviewed on her channel and doesn't have a use for them anymore she puts them on that website for her subscribers to purchase them if they would like. Just a thought cause I know I would! :)

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

That's an awesome idea! I don't think I'd have the time for that though. Maybe sometime in the future!

[@redtfdt3fddrf3dcrf3cgffrxx9]

[@simplyraisingarrows7369]

Love busy bags , I just did a collaboration on this !

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh that's great! I'm so happy to hear that!!

[@amandap7926]

Do your children have access to this bin at all times or just during specific times? Do you have to supervise or do the activities with the children or is it more like a solo independant activity? Thanks for sharing :)

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Yes and no! LOL At first, it was only for me until they have mastered it enough to do on their own. Right now, they can do things and explore on their own.

[@elisabethwest4305]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

[@elisabethwest4305]
