Baby Busy Bag: No-Sew Fabric Pull

Have you ever found your baby with a box of tissues happily surrounded as she pulls them out one by one? What fun for your baby! What a mess for you!! This fast and easy Busy Bag Activity encourages them to explore tugging and pulling and the best part is that they can do it again and again without wasting endless tissues!
 
 
Supplies:
24 oz Tupperware containers (the cheap ones work fine - found mine in a pack of 5 of $1.50)
6" x 45" strip of colorful fabric per container (check the clearance section for scraps)
Pinking sheers (zig-zag scissors) or similar blade for your rotary cutter
 
Instructions:
 

1. Cut an "X" in the lid of the Tupperware with scissors or an exacto knife (you have to look really close to see mine).
 

 2. Trim edges of your fabric with the pinking shears to prevent fraying.

 
3. If desired glue one end of the fabric to the inside bottom of the tupperware bowl. Finally, poke one end of the fabric through the slit in the lid, put the lid on with the fabric inside and let your baby go at it! :)
