Busy Bag Swap: Color Popsicles

Quite a while ago, some of you may remember that I hosted a Busy Bag Swap and Play Date with my mom's group. The moms, toddlers, and preschoolers all gathered at my house to play and exchange homemade busy bag activities. Well, after I had a miraculous (probably a strong use of the word) breakthrough today with Camp, I decided I should start posting about the cool activities we got from the swap.

Today's post features the amazing and fun Color Popsicles!  Even though we have used them several times before today, it all seemed to make sense this afternoon when Camp had a little "Aha" moment while playing with his popsicle activity. The concept of matching colors finally hit the little guy.  I was so thrilled. The incredibly talented Kristin created these little color coded felt popsicles for our tots, and they were an immediate hit at the play date! She even made an extension for the older children by adding the color words all written in black to separate sticks. You can find some tutorials for some like them here and here. Thank you, Kristin, for providing a cool hands-on color lesson for my tiny student!


I get it. Brown goes with brown!

Now, how do I get this stick in there?
