I love making busy boxes for my kids and we have quite a collection now that we rotate so they don’t get bored!I have another fun busy box idea for you today! A space themed busy box! PS- you can now buy ready made boxes from our Etsy shop!
I used a red lunch box(similar to this one)with a black felt inner for this space themed box:
Then I cut different colour circles, representing the planets, some stars, a rocket, an astronaut and even an alien from felt(I did not bother with proper proportions though):
I used glitter glue to add some details as well:
And that is it, so easy, but so cute, right?
These felt busy boxes can be used to tell stories or just for imaginative play. It is great for traveling, for quiet time and as a quick play activity when you are busy(feeding a baby/making dinner) and need to occupy your child/ren.
Feel free to share!
