This is day 2 of the busy bag series, if you don't have much time this is the project for you. It only took me a about fifteen minutes to put this one together. It teaches colors, shapes, pattern making and of course buttoning.
What you need:
different colors of felt
ribbon
buttons
scissors
needle and thread
gallon bag
Cut out different shapes and colors of felt about 3 of the same shape and color if you want to practice pattern making.

Cut a slit in the center of each shape just big enough the button will slip through.

Cut a piece of ribbon about 14 in" long burn or fray check each end, and sew a button on each end.

And there you have it, a shape snake that you can store away in a gallon bag for a rainy day, eventually I might print off cards with pattern ideas for kids to copy.
I'll be back tomorrow with another busy bag idea.
