Beans for Bean Bags

[btass]

Hi everyone,

I am a Wolve Cub Scout Den Leader and we are going to be working on an achievement to make Bean Bags.

I have all the material and I can show the boys how to sew the material together. The one problem I am having though is deciding what dry beans go inside the bean bags?

Does anyone who has made small bean bags before have a preference? Are some too small, too hard, too soft?

Any help is appreciated!

My DS's gym teacher used popcorn. They were really just right for the toddlers using them. Hope this helps!

I always made these with my pre-school class and we used rice.

Good luck with the scouts. I was my son's webelo leader and really enjoyed it. You can use any small dried bran, popcorn or rice. It won't really matter.

Thanks everyone, we ended up using black beans. I went to the bean ailse in the grocery store and "felt" all the bags of beans to see which one I liked the best.
