Holiday Tree Busy Bag Game

This is a fun and easy way to keep kids busy during the holidays, or any other time.

I’m a little late in the game on posting these on Glued To My Crafts but I sure hope they STILL come in handy for you this holiday break!

Today I’m sharing this extra QUICK & EASY “busy bag” activity that is suitable for a wide range of children! Not to mention, it’s absolutely perfect for you to make and play with this afternoon with your child OR you can make it & bag it up as a Christmas present if you like!

To assemble and play with this Christmas Tree Busy Bag Game, all you need to do is download the free provided file below, print it out, do some trimming and then laminate before you add some velcro dots to make it “stick.” That’s it! I promise it might seem a little overwhelming but it’s seriously so easy!

This busy bag Christmas game is not only great to keep kids “busy” while you get some prep-work done for the holidays but you can also teach them their numbers along the way, as well. Throw in some other clever learning twists by focusing on colors, shapes etc. The possibilities are endless! I just provided the basic frame of it so it’s your job to run with it – however you like!

So friends – enough chit chat from me. You can find all the crafty details below in the full tutorial, as well as the free files in the supply list!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share some pictures of your child playing with their new Christmas tree game, on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

First print the two free files, listed above. You want to print them out in color and on thick white cardstock.
Now get your laminator hot and ready.
Go ahead and laminate the large tree printable first. This piece will stay as is.
While that is running through the laminator, trim out the individual ornaments from the second printable.
Now go ahead and run those through your laminator as well.
Once it’s cool enough, use scissors to trim out each ornament piece again. You should have TEN ornaments pieces, as well as one star cutout for your tree.
Next go ahead and grab your velcro dots, as well as all the ornament cutouts.
Put ONE velcro dot on the back of each ornament cutout, as well as on the tree printable {near the numbers on the tree.}
For the star cutout, put one velcro dot on top off the tree in the printable.
And that’s it for the DIY Christmas Tree Busy Bag Game!
To play – have children match up the number ornament to the number on the tree.
When done playing, place everything in a large plastic baggie for easy storage.
