I posted last week with some of our busy bag ideas for the boy’s plane kits. Click here to read more. I’ve added a whole lot more to their bags. Plus all their busy bags are packed into canvas bags, then packed inside their Trunki’s.
I’ve seen lots of these versions of I-spy bags on Pinterest, so I made my own version for the boys. Using plastic cut from a plastic bag, felt, packing beads and charms. The idea is that the boy’s must look for the items on their cards in the beads by moving the beads around. They were very easy and quick to make, hoping the boys like them!
This is a simple printout of numbers, O’s name and the word ‘train’. O just needs to take the stickers off and stick them around the lines of the numbers and letters. A little fine motor activity.
Next up are felt clothes shapes, string and small clothes pegs. Simply tie the string up as a washing line between two things and then kids can peg the felt clothes on it. A has a similar version with a bag to put the clothes in and out of.
I also made this printable train play mat for them to play with. You can download it for free here.
Here are their busy bag sets all laid out, hopefully it will keep them busy for a while…
Do you have busy bag kits?

Great ideas. I love having things like this to keep children busy and still when you need to.

Thanks, they really worked! O asked to use various things in his busy bag every night on holiday and sometimes when we were at the tent during the day when A was napping too. Brilliant for keeping him happy and quiet for a bit. 🙂 x

Looks good! And I think enough for the kids to be busy for the flight =)
I dont have any of those kits but going home would need us to stay in the plane for 22hours so I need to prepare something like this too!

That would be a tough journey! I would definitely recommend making something like this! And hope they sleep for some of that too! 🙂 xx
