Snowman Busy Bag

 Snowman Busy Bag

What I used:

colored felt- Pick out what color felt you want.  I got white, of course, for the snowman, black for the hat, eyes, and mouth, brown for stick arms, orange for his nose, yellow, green, teal for buttons.

scissors

sharpie

What to do:

Cut out stick arms for the snowmen.  I have 3 boys ages 2-6yr.  I had to cut out 6 arms so they can all have a set.  Cut out an orange nose.  

Cut out top hats from the black felt.  I used the extra pieces to cut out the eyes and the mouth.

Then I cut out several circles to use as buttons.  To make them look a little like a button I added black dots with a sharpie.

I set a tray out with the bag on it and let the kids have it.

My kids are 2yr, 3yr, and 6yr.  They all got a snowman busy bag.  The youngest just throws things around but the older boys did create a snowman from the pieces.  Now they can do this over and over again.  We can add more felt pieces or they can mix up how they create the snowman each time. Fun and easy way to stay busy!
