This is a great idea for travel or those times when kids have to wait somewhere with you…and you want to bring something little for them to play with.
Print out a paper play mat, grab a small toy and put it all in a zip lock bag or pencil case. Throw it in your bag so you have something on hand.

March 26, 2015 at 5:04 amI just stumbled across your blog via a play dough recipe from Pinterest and have enjoyed looking around. I printed these play mats, slipped them into sheet protectors and plopped the play dough on top. My two-and-a-half year old is busy building houses with roofs and windows to place along the road. Great fun.
