Penguin Felt Busy Box

Remember all these fantastic felt busy box ideas? I’m adding to the collection every now and again and today it is a Mix and Match Penguin busy box!

Again, I used a plastic lunch/snack box with flip lid( similar to This one) to add these bits and pieces in. The lid is lined with a light blue felt piece.

I used some black, white and yellowish-orange felt for Mr Penguin. And large-ish googly eyes:

I cut these free handedly looking at a picture of a penguin. I promise I will make work of it to start making templates you can print and use soon!
I attached felt to the back of the googly eyes so it will stay in place while traveling.

I cut four different coloured hat, mittens and scarf. (One can cut even more colours, I was just pressed for time.) Each hat has a corresponding coloured mini pompom.

The idea is to 1). Match the colours of the accessories(working on colour recognition):

2). Mix two(or more) coloured accessories to find which colours works well together:

3). Go crazy and add any colours you’d like:

Another fun felt busy box idea to keep you little one entertained during quiet time or traveling, since this is a travel-friendly activity!
