The best travel toys are those that kids can play with in a lot of different ways. With this I Spy bag, tutorial courtesy of My Crafty Side, kids can spend an infinite amount of time just peeking around at all the little treasures inside. However, you can challenge each other to find different objects, use them as story starters, sketch them, play phonics or spelling games with them, or, of course, play I Spy.
To make this an eco-friendly project, I suggest using a washed Ziplock bag, or a piece of upcycled shower curtain liner, or even a piece of clear plastic from the recycling bin (you’ll need to glue that last one in) for the I Spy bag’s window, and a natural material, such as dried rice, for the filling.
For the tiny objects, hunt around your house or go crazy at the thrift store–buttons, Legos, tiny plastic toys, and beads and baubles of all sorts will all be so much for for a kiddo to explore.
