A Busy Bag will help you be prepared for those times when you have to wait at the doctor's office, hairdresser's, or restaurant. Turn a drawstring bag or backpack into a take-along Busy Bag that contains items like:

• an edible necklace
• a favorite toy
• stuffed animal or blanket
• magnets and small metal cake pan
• matchbox cars
• simple wooden puzzles
• special snacks
• stickers and a sticker book or a plain notebook
• activity/coloring books
• crayons/washable markers
