Calling all Castle Peeps Campers!!!

Another Thursday at Castle Peeps Summer Camp, another great activity!

This week we are making Bean Bags...these are quick to make, and fun for the whole family!  Attached is a pdf you can download with all of the instructions.

A quick note about the bean bags that I discovered along the way...

Initially I was going to line them with muslin, and some of the photos show a lined bag, but after making the first one, I found it unnecessary. 

Also, be sure and pick up any little beans that fall on the floor, lest they end up in the nostril of one of your children for three days and start to sprout...ask me how I know!

Here are some ideas of games to play with your bean bags:

omg! beans in nostrils sprouting!? Seriously!? That's crazy business! I think this will be my next project with my castle peeps :) Perhaps an all out GAME is in order!

very cool!! this might be the perfect thing for me to make for the kiddo... he wants to try juggling and it would be very court-jester-y of him to have castle peep bean bags.

on a side note... my sister used to shove everything up her nose. sticking KIX cereal up there will cure that...gets stuck, so the only way to get it out is by crunching it.
