I Spy Busy Bags

A busy bag of I SPY PRINTABLES.

Seriously.

These things are awesome.

What you need:

  • A cute little bag
  • Markers or crayons. These chubby markers are fantastic for little hands.
  • Printouts of as many I SPYs from the I SPY book as you can stand.

I Spy busy bags are the perfect easy boredom buster for kids!

Here’s a few ways to make the I SPY Busy Bag  even more convenient:

1. After downloading the pdf, print it all out. All if it. Take half of the printables and stick them in your car. Stick the other half in your purse. Voilá! Never be without a boredom buster again.

2. Keep the pdf on your iPad or phone, your kids can actually “play” it on a screen. Have them verbalize what they see, and count out loud. (Watch the video to see it in action.)

3. Make a themed busy bags ahead of time and add the appropriately themed I SPY to the bag! Add the dino I SPY to the dinosaur matching busy bag; add the fall or Halloween I SPY to the pumpkin number matching busy bag. You get the idea.
