Spring is here and we are loving it! Not only are we loving the warmer temperatures, but we are so happy about not having to wear coats, boots, mittens, and scarves everywhere! A few months ago, I shared my winter dress up busy bag and I heard from many readers that you loved it! Today, I’m sharing with you my new spring clothes dress up busy bag! This is a fun busy bag to put together for your little ones.
Here’s what you need for the activity:
- spring clothes clip art
- doll clip art
- magnets
- glue
- scissors
- card stock paper
- laminator (optional, but this is my favorite one to use at home)
- cookie sheet
Here’s how to make the busy bag:
- Purchase the doll clip art and spring clothes clip art.
- Resize the clip art to fit the dolls using PowerPoint or Word.
- Print the spring clothes printable onto card stock paper. Laminate the sheets to make them more sturdy.
- Cut out the spring clothes.
- Add a magnet to the backside of each picture.
- Place the boy or girl sheets on a cookie sheet.
- Invite your child to dress up the children with the different clothes.
Aren’t they so cute?!
While playing dress up, talk about the names of the clothing items and when you would wear them. I love this cute set!
After you’re done playing, store the printables in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. This is a great way to keep them organized, especially if you don’t want them to get mixed up with other busy bags.
Make sure to head over to Educlips to get this adorable set!
*This previously was a free printable, but due to copyright, I can no longer off this for free. Please suppor this wonderful clip artists!*
I went to TpT and bought the bundle – it has a variety of dolls and clothing. For me i Australia it was $14 so not a bad price considering the size of the files
Just curious though why is the winter set still for free?
The reason why the winter one is free is that I hired another designer and paid them to create the clip art. The clip art for the winter busy bag is different. I’m sorry about this!
Why does this say “Free Printable” when it is not free? I have to purchase the materials to do this activity.
Paula – I am so sorry about this! It was previously free, but the clip artist contacted me and didn’t want her clip art given away like this, so I had to take the free printable down. I need to change the top image to not say “free printable”. I’m so sorry!
Looking at the download it doesn’t include the little blonde boy shown in your pictures. Is there anyway to get a copy of him?
I updated the file to show a variety of children, but I couldn’t include the blonde boy because he was a different size. I’m sorry!
What kind of magnets do you use for it to stay? I did a magnet thing on a cookie sheet once before but they didn’t stay on my cookie sheet. Is there a specific kind you use to make it stay? Thank you, these are really cute
Also what kind of cookie sheet do you use?
I use a plain one, but it is magnetic. I think that could be why the magnets aren’t sticking for you.
I just found these and they look great! Thank you! Looking at the download it doesn’t include the little blonde boy shown in your pictures. Is there anyway to get a copy of him?
Thank you very much for your amazing and so colourful clothes bags! They are really incredible!
How do you print them out without having to download a new tool bar?
Hello! All you need to do is download Adobe Reader one time and it should work for you. You can get it here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
