A couple "keeping little fingers busy" ideas

Now that my baby is over a year old, he just wants to go and go(thus the nickname he's earned of Jo-Jo ma go-go). On sundays we have a 3 hour block of church that includes sacrament service, sunday school, and classes specified for men/women/kids. The 3 hours can definitely be a struggle with my Jojo. I find myself only able to go for about 1.5 hours of meetings, the rest is spent wandering the halls with my little man. But I have found a couple of wonderful things to buy some more time. First up stickers! People in the halls are often pointing out a sticker I have on myself or stuck to Jojo's face. I tend to stick them all over him, the floor, chairs. He loves to sit and pick them off. I usually save it as my last resort, and it'll usually get me another 15-20 minutes at least. One of my all time favorite "toys" for my kids are pipe cleaners! They're super cheap and can be used over and over. Plus it gets their creativity and imaginations working. Well I was so excited to find these my kids absolutely love them! They're called Brain Noodles and they are giant pipe cleaners. We got them for just over $1 a piece, so worth it in my opinion. Here are my kiddos enjoying them
