How cute is this ocean busy box with a lunch box and felt ocean pictures to take along on trips? It is no sew too which makes it real easy to make!

As I mentioned, I used a lunch box(almost like THIS one), a blue one, with Felt to make this travel felt busy box. It is a perfect size, small and compact, but with enough space to play!

I cut a dark blue piece to fit snuggly into the lid(I did not glue it down for if I want to change up the colours for another type of felt busy box in the future):

Then I cut light brown for sand/rocks and dark green for seaweed/plants:

sand,rocks,plants

Some sea creatures were cut from different colours felt and googly eyes added(or you could buy ready made ones like THESE). You might want to skip the googly eyes if a very young child is going to use this. Rather draw the eyes with a marker.

All the felt pieces are loose so that my kids can arrange them as they wish. Stories can be told and pretend play will happen, oh the possibilities!

A perfect busy box idea for traveling or whenever you need something to occupy kiddies!
