I love busy bags! They are great for kids under 5 and can keep them busy for a long time. I like to have a great big bag or box full of them, so that the kids each take one to play with and once they are done, they put their activity back in the bag and then take a new one. If you are unsure what a busy bag is, just google it. There's lots of ideas out there. And for someone whose 'crafty', they aren't too hard to put together.
