Odds & sods of scrap material are perfect for stitching up a few bean bags; simple, inexpensive toy with tons of play opportunity.


Pictured are three sets of bean bags, approximately 5x5 inches square each.
Every bag is sewn twice along each edge to avoid possible spillage.

One set of bean bags contains teeny tiny mung beans.
The second set, medium-sized red beans.
The third set, large lima beans.
Each pattern is filled with each kind of bean.

I tested the new project on my toy-tester.

I think they started sprouting today!

Note: Spot clean only. Do not soak!

Match Patterns. Like separating laundry, little people can start learning about pattern by matching the bean bags with the same designs.

Bean Guess. Using several types of beans or grains gives different weight and texture. By feeling the bean bags, children can sort by type of bean.


Toss & Catch. Bean bags are the perfect size and weight for learning to catch! Much less tricky than roll-away balls, bean bags land firmly where they are thrown so it gives a toddler a great chance to learn where to hold their hands.

Hula Hoops. Pair a stack of bean bags with a few scattered hula hoops and let your child figure out the rest!
