It is safe to say that I have a thing for busy boxes, felt busy boxes to be specific! It is such a useful little toy to have, whether you use it while traveling, during quiet time, keeping an older sibling entertained while feeding baby or just to keep at hand to play with anytime, a very useful toy indeed! TIP: Make a few different ones to rotate and your children won’t get bored.

I have put together a *few* busy boxes so far, but have more planned, so I wanted to add them all to one post(and update this post as I make more), to refer to. You really don’t need much for these boxes, only a box of some sort(we use lunch boxes) and felt. Most of these I just cut without templates(if you are a little creative you can do it too looking at the pictures), or you can order our ebooks that has all the templates HERE(Volume 1)  or HERE (Volume 2) or get the bundle, which is Volume 1+ Volume 2 + The Holiday Edition(that is 30 ideas!) HERE!

Here are the felt busy boxes(click on the blue link to go to actual post with details):

    When my kids were younger I did some felt objects for church. The pieces stick to the back of the pews (depending on your church…) I realized you can cut them out with a die cut machine, which saved a ton of time! My local craft store even had a paper doll pattern.

      Yep, that would make it easier. Definitely putting a machine on my wish list;)
