Create a busy bag/box for your toddler with felt, paint and the Bowdabra. My three year old loves playing
with felt so I created a Valentine’s Day color matching busy box. Busy Bags typically are constructive activities for your toddler that fit in a zip lock bag. These felt hearts will make fun Valentine’s Day gifts.
