They are easy to sew, just straight seams all around. :) They're great to use as make-shift beds for toys, and also for those throwing games where you get them to throw the beanbag into a box/container etc...
We also tried playing this game to help Junior J with his prepositions (he uses "on" for everything: "on the room", "on the bowl", and gets confused when I tell him its "in the bowl"). I would sing "Put the beanbag in/on/under the ____ (insert item in blank)", to the tune of "This is the way", and end it with "Where is beanbag now?" to which Junior J will answer me. Hopefully all this practice will help him with those prepositions, since they can be confusing (I know, since up to now I can't get my German prepositions right!).
So today, Mr Beanbag has been:
 |
| On Junior J's head... |
 |
| In a bowl... (and later, under it) |
 |
| On top of the bricks... |
 |
| And in a container! |
Think both the beanbag, and the boy had fun. :) Oh, and here are more ideas for beanbag games... Have a great week ahead, and come over to play at the Childhood 101 We Play link up!
so nostalgic, i remember having lots of beanbags to play with, although I have no idea why or how they came to me lol
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make bean bags! My mum used to make it when I was young too!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea! And it's great to know that all little boys are just as sweaty in this hot, humid weather!
ReplyDeleteBing and Jo: Haha, we didn't have them at home when I was young, but I remember all those throwing games during PE class in Pri school! Seems ages ago!
