What a cool idea - preschool busy bags

Maybe I'm the last one on the boat, but I'd never heard of busy bags before yesterday when a friend supplied this link on FB: http://www.walkingbytheway.com/blog/ultimate-guide-preschool-busy-bags/
They're ziploc bags of educational games you create - small enough to store on a high shelf and pull out when you have a doctor's appointment, are going out to eat, or just need something for those "I'm so bored!" afternoons.
That blog site links to tons of ideas. I'm making a list already. My favorites so far are getting paint chips at the hardware store and colored paper clips and having kids match them up or use fine motor skills to clip the paper clips onto the paint chips; and putting alphabet magnets on construction paper out in the sun to bleach the paper so Justin can match up the letters to the bleached letters on the paper.
And they suggest to have a "busy bags party," which is kind of like a cookie swap only you meet up and swap bags so each mom is making several bags of just one activity, but you go home with several different activity bags.
