Well…in my case busy bag. Same thing. Last week some of my blogger bffs and I shared our busy box exchange…and this week we are sharing how we made them and asking all of you to link up your own busy boxes with us! Yay!
Hudson and I drew Emily and Owen from Dear Owen as our pick so we got busy putting a little something together for him!
First of all, I’m not a crafter. Well, in my previously life (before Hudson) I was. But having a baby sucked that skill right out of me. So all of the things I made are super easy!
I found these adorable Brown Bear printables here….love them so much. I picked a few of my favoites and sent them to kinkos to be printed on nice card stock. They are all the animals from Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, which is one of our favorite books. I thought Owen might enjoy a little game of memory with these cards. I tested them out on Hudson and it’s one of his new favorite games! He doesn’t understand that when you flip a card over you are supposed to remember where it is, but still has fun searching for the match.
I also printed these cards for Owen to match up front and back ends. Definitely a skill Hudson didn’t quite understand yet but with practice I’m sure he’ll get it soon!
The cards were so stinkin’ cute. 
To go along with the color theme, I took an old egg carton and glued colored paper squares on the bottom and then gave Owen a bunch of pom poms to sort in to colors. Hudson LOVES doing this so I hope Owen did too.
I found these cute soft blocks at target and drew some shape patterns on paper for Owen to match up…or color…which ever he liked. 
And put everything in a cute little bag! This was so fun and so easy to do!
Hudson loved his busy box from Colleen and Owen from Meet the Sullivans!
