I don't know about your children but mine love bags! Every time they find any empty bag they grab it and fill it up with stuff~It doesn't matter what it is they just put it in the bag until it's too heavy for them to carry or the bag rips and everything falls out (they think that's funny...I don't always agree :)
I had a bag and they wanted to know what was in it~I told them to guess. Well with a 4 year old and a 2 1/2 year old the guesses where a bit outrageous for the bag (a dog? Daddy? A car?) I tried giving them some clues...It's rectangle, has paper inside it, you use it to blow your nose. Then Samantha wanted to feel inside. So I had her reach in without looking. She described it "hard" "not heavy" Aiden was a little scared to reach in. I pulled it out and showed them that it was a tissue box. They wanted to find more things to put in the bag. They played this together for a little while
This is a great activity to develop vocabulary (hard/soft, big/little, rough/smooth) and asking/answering questions. Plus it takes no prep work or messy clean up :)
