B is for Busy Box!

  All hail the power of the busy box! Hudson and I got our craft on and participated in a busy box swap with some of my favorite bloggers! A busy box is designed to be a simple activity or set of activities that help educate and entertain little ones for a few precious minutes. Moms everywhere know how valuable those minutes can be!
Colleen and Owen from Meet the Sullivans sent Hudson his very own road play set! Colleen is such a sweetheart and really went the extra mile to make Hudson’s busy box amazing.

Hudson LOVES it. He loves the cars, and animals in his box so much. 
I’m pretty sure Hudson and I hit the jack pot with our swap.
Have you ever made a busy box? There are tons of ideas on pinterest! We want to see you get creative and show us a busy box you have made for your toddler! Next week Tuesday we are going to host a busy box link up and we can’t wait to see all of your great ideas! Meanwhile, check out the other bloggers participating in this swap below and be sure to check out Emily’s blog, Dear Owen, to see the Brown Bear/color matching busy bag Hudson and I sent Owen!
