Finger Puppets with Animal Flash Cards (great for imaginative play and matching)
I couldn't help include the extra photo showing both front and back sides of these gorgeous Eric Carle Animal flash cards (shop here). Older children can be challenged by matching the puppet to the letter it starts with (finger puppets were from Ikea).
Threading Straws and Pipe Cleaners (great for fine motor control)
Gem/Pebble Sorting and Counting with 'Montessori inspired' Number Templates (this one is aimed at older children)
Here's the blog where I found the number templates 1+1+1=1. They go right up to 10 - all you need to do is print, cut and laminate. I've also included an example of sorting and patterns that little people can be kept busy with! I'd suggest 3-5 year olds would enjoy this one.
Mini Sticker Books (simple yet effective if you don't want to carry around a large sticker book with you)
Fuzzy Felts (another 'quiet' one to encourage little imaginations)
Now I can't claim any creativity for this one because I just bought it from cheap as chips. But if you were feeling creative, you could buy some pieces of felt and cut out shapes yourself. And you'll notice my zip lock bag wasn't big enough to fit the felt board - oh well!
One little tip if you're planning to use busy bags for a long car drive, try using a medium sized oven tray as a 'desk' for your little person to put their busy bag items on.
If you've enjoyed the busy bag posts so far, make sure you check out our last one next week. I've got a couple more busy bag ideas that didn't quite make the cut - maybe Alison and I will do a 'Part 5' to this series ;)
Until next time

*** Please take note: as with any baby and toddler play activities, please be mindful of objects smaller than a 50c piece that may present as a choking hazard. Always supervise your little one, and of course, you know your child best.

Na minha humilde opinião,É muito difícil encontrar um cassino on-line respeitável e confiável. Se não quiser perder seu tempo com pesquisas inúteis, basta visitar o cassino mr bet casino e receber seus bônus. O único cassino que posso recomendar é o TO porque as pessoas confiam neleDe acordo com as estatísticas, este cassino on-line tem o RTP mais alto
