3boysmama Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Anybody know of one I can join that will be happening fairly soon? We recently were placed with 3 foster boys ages 1, 3, & 4 and I would love to have some of them for them to do while we're doing school. Or would anybody be willing to participate in one, because I would be willing to coordinate it. I really want to participate in one, I think it would be a lot of fun. These are totally new to me, my friend just told me about them, and I love it, but if you're like me and haven't heard of them before you can google it and there are TONS of ideas. Here are just a couple of sites that I found though. http://therigneys.wordpress.com/2011...busy-bag-swap/ http://www.gerberadesigns.com/triedandtrue/?p=505 http://chasingcheerios.blogspot.com/...vity-bags.html http://naturalparentsnetwork.com/activity-bag-fun/ So, if anyone knows of one about to start, or is willing to participate in one with me, please let me know. Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennsmile Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sounds like fun. I would join one. ;) My first choice would be the playdough to make, as I love making playdough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlcspcarcetc Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'd be interested in participating in one. I've got a 2 1/2 ds and a dd who will be 4 on Sunday. I need something for them. They want to "do school" so badly, but I don't just want to sit them down with a workbook. So, I'd be happy to participate in one. I have a book about doing the preschool "bag" swaps.

3boysmama Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Ok cool!! That's great!! This will be fun!! I'm asking around trying to get a few more people to participate. I was hoping to get a dozen people, so we could all have 12 new busy bags to use. If you know of anyone else that would like to participate, too, let me know. Give me a few more days to see if I/we can get anyone else to join up with us, and I'll PM you guys to see if you're still interested in doing it, and give the details.

West Coast Mom Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Please add me to the list. My youngest are 3 years and 15 months.

jennsmile Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I would be willing to do 2 or 3 bags as long as I get 2 or three sets in return. Planning for Christmas... Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonshineLearner Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 This would be fun for our preschool parents to do... in real life!! I wanna hear how it goes for everyone.. and which activities are best. Are there books out there you recommend? Or, more blogs? ;) I'd love to do this with some people around Salem, OR.... I hate postage :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeBeaks Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 http://www.sewingmamas.com has one starting soon. They usually do sewing swaps on their site, but this one is not sewing. They are doing toddlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
