DIY Bean Bags

Sponsored by


RECOMMENDED AGE LEVEL
Recommended for ages 5 and up with adult supervision.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Create your own bean bags from materials you probably already have in your house!
MATERIALS
3-6 Standard sized balloons (find these in the floral section of your grocery store)
Rice
Measuring spoons
Funnel*
Scissors
INSTRUCTIONS
- Stretch the balloon out by blowing up one time, then deflate
- Put balloon opening onto the funnel
- Measure 3 tablespoons of rice into funnel/balloon
- Remove funnel
- Tie balloon low on the neck, pushing most of the air out. It’s okay if there is a bit of air remaining.
- Make sure your knot is super tight, then snip off the balloon end about ¼ inch from the knot
*Need a funnel, too? Cut a piece of thin cardboard from your recycling– food packaging works best. Roll the cardboard into a cone, leaving a ½ inch opening. Tape the sides and voilà–you have a quick funnel!
