7 . Cut and Paste Craft Bag - Young children especially love to cut and paste , so print out a few different things for them cut out . Include safety scissors and glue sticks because they ’ re less messy than bottled glue ! If you ’ re feeling really brave , you can add glitter , buttons , and other such items to glue ... Just be prepared to vacuum for days .
8 . Construction Bag - This is another fun bag for little ones . Include small diggers , loaders , and dump trucks with a bag of pebbles , or even some homemade moon sand . You may want to provide a small tray with this bag for the moon sand or pebbles and a play area for your little construction crew .
9 . Exploding Chemistry Bag - If you fill a bag with vinegar , fold up some baking soda in a paper towel , drop it in the bag , and seal it up , it will explode ! You can even add food coloring for a bigger show . To store the bag before use , fill a small container with vinegar , a bottle of food coloring , and another small container with baking soda . Label it EXPLOSIVE !
10 . Bug Collector Bag - Purchase a cheap bug collector kit from the dollar store . Add in a book about bugs , a magnifying glass , and a little notebook for scientific notations . Your little entomologist could get lost in the wonders of nature for hours !
11 . Chef Box ( or Bag ) - Include a recipe card , the contents of your recipe , an apron , and the cooking utensils needed for this boredom buster bag .
