Quick "Kid Kit" for Babysitters

Here are a few items I add to our kid-kits for the baby-sitter!

Here are my top 10 inexpensive items:
They work best when used one at a time for about 15-30 minutes each...

#1 - Paper Plate Counting and Sorting
I just wrote the numbers 1-5 on paper plates on found some shapes (our kiddo loves stars) to use while they count and sort...

#2 - Bubbles!

#3 - Busy Wallet

#4 - Flash Cards

These are always a hit with toddlers!

#5 - Shapes (Plates and Felt) for Sorting and Matching

You can get creative with this, but basically cut out felt shapes and find corresponding color plates...

#6 - Coloring Books and Crayons

#7 - Shower Curtain Rings

These are great for sorting, matching, building, counting, etc.

#8 - Card Stock for Sticker and Marker Art

This can provide hours of entertainment!

#9 - Felt Shape and Color Board

This is great for quizzing on colors and shapes

#10 - Notebook and Pen for Writing

This always makes our toddler feel like a big kid, to use a REAL pen and paper to draw and write...
