These free busy bag printables are a great way to keep kids busy at appointments, in the car, at restaurants, or during a church service. They are easy to set up and you can laminate them to use over and over again.
In my Toddler and Preschool Activity Facebook group, a common question has come up: how can I keep my little one busy during church service, car rides, or at appointments? I created these fun and free busy bag printables to help solve this problem.
I love creating and sharing fun printables (as well as easy recipes and activities like dot marker pages and sensory bins too)!

💭 Why you’ll love these printables
- They are so easy to bring along almost anywhere. You can leave them in your bag, purse, or car.
- They take up very little room. I designed these to fit in a pencil bag but you can also keep them in a small pencil box or plastic storage bag too.
- You can laminate them and use over and over again.
- You only need a dry erase marker for these (which is super easy to keep in the pencil bag).
📋 What is the difference in busy bags VS a busy binder?
Busy binder pages are geared towards learning things like the alphabet (like these alphabet busy binder pages), colors, numbers, and pre-writing skills.
These busy bag printables were designed to be more fun although there are some learning aspects to these busy bag printables including pre-writing, problem solving (puzzles), and they also require the use of fine motor skills.
These busy bag pages were designed to be used for younger kids (toddler and preschool age).
🖍️ Supplies needed
