Bean Bags
You can make your own beanbags very quickly and enjoy a fun bean bag game with your child in no time.
What you’ll need:
- some scrap fabric (2 pieces of 5" x 5" works great)
- needle and thread (or sewing machine)
- bag of dried beans
What to do:
- Sew (with a machine or by hand) the fabric together around all 4 sides, leaving about 2 inches of it un-sewn.
- Turn it inside out and fill with as many beans as you like.
- Stitch those last 2" inches of fabric together to close it up.
- That’s it. You’ve got yourself a bean bag!
Make a few and start a game with your preschooler. Hang a bell or some type of bulls-eye on the branch of a tree or the bar of a swing set. Try to ring the bell or hit the bulls-eye with your bean bags and keep score of who gets the most rings or hits.
