Crazy Straw Color Match Game {Busy Bag Idea}

I’ve been sharing quite a few busy bag ideas on my Instagram account – but not any on the Glued To My Crafts blog. Today I’m going to remedy that with today’s DIY Crazy Straw Color Match Game idea!

If you make busy bags for your child, you probably already know that they don’t have to be complicated or made out of elaborate material.

Pinterest is chucked full of inexpensive ideas and I’m adding another one to the list. My son was pretty excited about playing with this Crazy Straw Busy Bag Idea and it cost me less than $2 total. Not too shabby right?

Keep scrolling for all the details on how I pulled it together!!! Then recreate this Crazy Straw & Craft Felt Color Match Game for your young child and come share pictures afterwards on our Facebook page to see! I can’t wait! #gluedtomycrafts

Crazy Straw Matching Game Craft Supplies:
* Various Colored Crazy Straws {Dollar Tree}
* Craft Felt – In Various Colors
* Basic Craft Scissors

The Simple Directions:
* First match your felt pieces to your crazy straws.
* Using your scissors, cut out 2×2 inch squares out of the felt. {I did 10 for each crazy straw}
* Now cut a small slit in the center of each square. This will make it easy for the felt to be threaded onto the straw.
* Then hand over to your child and have them “match & thread” the matching felt pieces to their crazy straws.
* And that’s it! When done, store your crazy straw match game in a large plastic baggie till next time!

Busy bags are a great way to practice counting, matching and even fine motor skills! For more DIY learning bag ideas you can make at home for your preschooler, be sure to check out these past blog posts on our website right now:
