Create an educational busy box for your toddler to keep them busy
1. Choose a container, such as a plastic storage box, that is easy to open and close and large enough to hold the activities you plan to include.
2. Choose activities that are appropriate for your toddler's age and interests. Consider activities that promote fine motor skills, sensory play, and problem-solving.
3. Include a variety of activities in the busy box, such as puzzles, building blocks, sensory toys, and art supplies.
4. Label each activity with a picture or word to help your toddler identify and learn the names of the different activities.
5. Incorporate educational components into the activities, such as counting blocks or letter recognition games.
6. Change out the activities in the busy box periodically to keep your toddler engaged and interested.
7. Store the busy box in a place that is easily accessible for your child, so they can play with it whenever they want.
8. Play with your toddler and engage with them while they use the busy box to make it a fun and interactive experience.
9. Use items you already have around the house, such as wooden blocks, and puzzles to save money and make the busy box more personalized for your child.
10. Store the busy box properly when not in use to keep the activities organized and easily accessible for future playtime.
