I wanted to take a gift for my cousin's son for his birthday party, but didn't want to go to the store. We really decided the Friday before the party to go, and I hated the thought of taking my children to the toy section in a department store. I never know how they will react ... and how long it will take to get them out the door after we've made our purchase. To avoid this, I remembered a great idea I saw online: Bean Bag Games! After some time spent trying to find the site I'd found before, I located the bean bag game cards and printed them out. Such great ideas! Then, I spent about an hour making the bean bags and the bag to store them in. Really, it took almost the same time to make this as it would have to get everyone in the car and take them to the store. I now know what all of our young nieces and nephews will be getting for their birthdays! Well, actually, I have another idea in mind as well ... and cannot wait to make it! But, these would be a great gift for Christmas too. My children had a great time playing with the bean bags before we gifted them ... so I'm thinking they will make great stocking stuffers (especially since I have tons of extra fabric I can use)!
