Spring is almost here and I am ready for all things rainbow!
We came up with a fun rainbow color sorting busy bag that is so simple to put together.
Rainbow Color Busy Bag
- egg carton
- paint
- food coloring (optional)
- pasta
The best thing about this busy bag is just how easy it is to put together! We didn’t have enough food coloring to dye all the pasta so we half dyed, half painted ours. As long as you color it somehow you will be set.
We added the pasta and the paint or dye to the bag and shook it up until is was covered. We then laid it on wax paper to dry.
We painted the bottoms of the egg carton red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple and painted the top black. Then once the pasta was dry we added the pasta to the top of the egg carton for the kids to sort by color.
All of the pieces of this rainbow busy bag can be stored right inside of the egg carton so it is perfect for playing with on the go!

I’m always on the hunt for fun ways to reuse our egg cartons. This is brilliant! Adding it to our to do list next week. Thanks for the fun idea!
I love this! How great that you can store it right in the carton too. You could have a whole set of busy cartons! The pasta looks so vivid too, how fun!
Right??? Busy cartons is so going to be a thing!
