Bean Bag Toss

Another crafty project we did recently was to make bean bags.

Supplies Needed:

6 different colored rectangle shaped pieces of fabric

scissors

sewing machine or simple needle & thread

funnel

rice

big bowl

a little helper

Step One: measure & cut fabric into a long retangle, so when you fold it over, it creates a square.

Step Two: sew all around square shape leaving a 2 inch opening unsewed

Step Three: place one "pouch" at a time into bowl to catch extra rice.
Step Four: use funnel to pour rice into pouch

Step Five: Sew the opening closed.

Ta-da!

We've enjoyed tossing them in buckets, practicing our accuracy, bringing them on vacation to use as a "bored" activity, warming them in microwave (15 seconds) for a pretend heat pillow, using them as pillows for baby dolls....etc.

Simple to make, fun to use, cute to boot!
