Busy Bag Swap!!

I have had a pretty good response so far to doing a Busy Bag swap so here is exactly how it will work...

Thanks to all who are participating in the busy bag swap!  You need to complete 20 bags!!  If you have not left me your email address please do so that I can send my my address for the end of the month.  I am super excited about all the new ideas and activities :) Here is a list for the bags so far...if you change you mind about what you are doing please let me know so I can change and modify the list as needed!  Thanks again so much....Foam color sorting blocks, Pompom push, Egg carton matching, Stringing beads, Lacing cards, Animal matching, Fishing game, Chalk activity, Felt Board, Collage/ Alphabet game, Color Matching, Number matching, Noodle necklace color sorting, Clothes pin activity, Water fishing game, Number tiles.

1) You leave a comment on the bottom of this post saying you are in, with your email address and what activity you plan to do OR if you want me to assign one to you. Once an activity is taken, please do not post the same activity.  Look around online for ideas if you need them. Once 30 women have signed up or Tuesday, September 5th hits (which ever comes first), the swap list is closed. I know several of you have 2 or more children, if you want to do one for each child that is fine just please make sure you put that in your post and we will count you 2 times!

2) Each of us would assemble 30 bags with one identical activity (for ages approximately 18 months-4 yrs) in each bag. (Ex. I would make 30 bags with lacing supplies. You would assemble 30 bags with pom pom sorting supplies.) You may find Oriental Trading to be a good resource for bulk supplies.

6) You should invest no more than about $1-2 per bag. We're not wanting to spend a fortune here.

7) Mail your bags to me by Friday, September 30th, using any shipping method you prefer. Please include $14.95 to cover the return shipping (the cost to ship one large flat rate box), AND a label for your box with your return address. If you live in Jacksonville, you do not have to include the shipping, just make sure you get me your bags by Friday, September 30th.

8) I will sort through all the bags, divvy them up so everyone gets one of each, and mail the collection to you by Thursday, October 13th.

9) We then each have a collection of 30 activity bags to pull out when needed!

Please feel free to share this with your friends.  The more people who join the swap from all over the country the more fun it will be!
