Punch by Number Busy Bag


I made 17 Busy Bags for our trip from Trans continental trip to Chile. These were used *a lot* and some of these bags are still around! So this busy bag is a lil addition to the list. 

Prepare

Cut random strips of paper and write a number on one side. Keep these strips with cute little paper punches in a small zipper bag or tray. 

Use 

When your kid needs to be kept "busy", give him this bag. He/she has to punch by number. i.e. 9 punches on the strip with number 9!


That's it! Let 'em punch away to glory! Punch with a purpose!

  6. Haha, before I saw the photo I was thinking this game sounded quite violent but perhaps a good way to release travelling stress :-D

    1. I know right! I guess a 'punch' i.e. the instrument u punch holes with may be called something else in different parts of the world!
