What’s a busy bag?
A Busy Bag is a small, portable (housed in a Ziploc™-type
baggie), age-appropriate manipulative activity for a toddler and/or preschooler
that aids in developing motor and literacy skills. The activity is ideal for occupying a child,
for example, while he or she waits for a doctor’s appointment, rides in the
car, or sits in church services.
What happens at the Busy Bag Program?
Parents will assemble everything needed to make a tote bag
full of 12 different busy bag activities. There will be different self-serve
stations you will rotate through to make the various busy bags. All the supplies
will be supplied and any prep work will be done; you just have to do the basic
assembly. Directions will be posted and staff will be there to help and answer
any questions.
These bags must cost some money to make. Is the program free?
Online Busy Bag programs often are valued at about $60 per person
(after all, you are getting 12 activities for your child!) but ours is totally
funded by The Friends of the Hussey-Memorial Public Library. The only
requirement is that you are or become a member of the Friends of the Library.
Individual membership is $10/year. Basically, you get a $60 value for $10, plus
you get to be a valued part of our library’s Friends community!
What does a Friends membership do and what will be expected of me?
You can be involved in the Friends as much or as little as
you like. Beyond your $10 membership dues, participation is up to you. Your
membership dues alone help to fund library programs and library grants (for
example, those colorful rugs in the YS department were results of Friends’
donations). If you wish to go deeper, you can attend Friends quarterly meetings
and have a voice in how the Friends supports the library; or perhaps you would
like to volunteer for working a book sale.
*Childcare not available. This program is for adults.
