Parents, do you need a little time to make a phone call without a toddler hanging on you? Do you need to cook dinner….or feed the new baby? My learning activities keep children actively engaged in a healthy activity while you cook or do other tasks. Let them focus on play instead of bad behavior and you can sit down and relax and watch their little minds at work! Playing and learning with an activity is a lot more fun for both parents and children than being frustrated and disciplined. Any time my twin boys are getting a little reckless and needing a change of pace I pull out an activity for an immediate distraction from the behavior. My personal favorite way to use busy bags is to have a quick “in case of an emergency” distraction for mischievous toddlers.

My learning games and sensory toys have been enjoyed by children in daycares, Montessori schools, and early intervention classrooms!
