Bean Bags...

Photobucket
For Christmas I made Hunter some "ABC" bean bags. I came across them on a blog a while back and set out to make them.

Each bag has a capital and lowercase letter painted on. (I used freezer paper, and cut out the letters with an exacto knife. I then ironed on the freezer paper to the fabric, wax side down and it creates a stencil to paint over. Then peel off the freezer paper. Voila!)Photobucket

We use them for a variety of letter recognition and letter sound games. They also get thrown down the stairs and at eachother! I love multi-purpose toys!! :)
