The Busy Box

If you have kids & don’t have one of these, make one. It’s super easy, trust me.

Create A Busy Box for Kids || The Chirping Moms

What is it? It’s what I would call a Busy Box. Get a box. It can be a pretty box or basket like this or it could be one of the many that you get in the mail (please tell me I’m not the only one with loads of empty Amazon boxes). Fill the box with anything & everything that can keep your kids busy.

I just recently made one of these & now we use it daily. I actually filled a basket like this when I was out of town for several days, trying to make sure that my mom always had something to keep the kids busy. Little did I know, I should have made one of these years ago. It has come in handy while making dinner, packing lunches, & even vacuuming. What’s in this Busy Box? Below I have several ideas, but keep it simple and easy for kids to do on their own. Also, rotate the items in and out of the box so the kids don’t get bored.
