The other day the Happy Buddy came home from summer camp with a large, fun-looking bag.
I pounced on that thing like white on rice.
As I peered through the bag’s contents, I knew it was something that had to be shared on the blog.
You see, my friend knows how difficult things have been for our Happy Home lately. She knows that I am definitely not getting any mom-of-the-year awards for having creative things to do with the Happy Buddy each day.
I am not even kidding when I tell you that most days I feel like my head is not attached to my body!
So this bag was straight from heaven.
7 Activity-Filled Ziploc Bags for quick and easy fun!
Allow me to share…Bag #1 – Cup Pyramids
Supplies – 1 package of small, plastic drinking cupsBag #2 – Nature Bracelets
Supplies – Large roll of masking tapeBag #3 – Streamer Fun
Supplies – Several packages of streamersBag #4 – Marble Painting
Supplies – Can, paper, marbles, paintBag #5 – Popcorn Pop-Out
Supplies – Microwaveable bag of popcornBag #6 – Zhu Zhu Pet Races
Supplies – 2 Zhu Zhu petsBag #7 – Science Lab
Supplies – Vinegar, Baking Soda, Plastic Cups
So, now the big question was which Activity Bag should we do first???
The Happy Buddy picked…We had a blast making and crashing our Cup Pyramids.
And I loved that there wasn’t any thinking involved – simply pull out a Ziplock from the Happy Activity Bag and we were ready to go!
What a fun thing to make for someone in your world – a gal going through a hard time who has Happy Buddies, or just a fun summer gift for a fellow mom friend.
Happy Happy Activity Bag-ing! 🙂
*Thanks, Sholar, for our Happy Activity Bag. You have blessed our little Happy Home (and especially this super stressed mama) more than you will ever know!*

Day 8: Read “Elmer” by David McKee, because the patchwork elephant matches the bag!

we just had a party at my house last weekend and i had a bunch of extra plastic cups. after reading this i just handed them to my 4 and 8 yr old to play with. they came up with so many things to do with them. we made towers, a city, see how tall we could stack them, we bowled with them, the possibilities are endless! thanks fo rthe great idea!
