Monster Bean Bags

I'm gearing up for Oliver's second birthday party - Monster themed. One of the games we are going to play is a monster toss. For prizes we are planning to give a few of the bean bags away so I thought it would be fun to make simple monster bags.  Here is the how to:

Step #1: Select the desired colors in basic felt. You can find this in any kids craft aisle.

Step #2: You should be able to get 4 bags out of two sheets of felt. Glue various size googly eyes on felt in quarters.

Step #3: Sew around eyes (I used an embroidery stitch) in the desired shape. Make sure you leave an inch sized opening to insert the filling.



Step #4: Insert a funnel into the hole to add the filler. I used wheat berries but rice or small beans would work as well.


Step 5: Pin opening to hinder filling from falling out.

Step #6: Using the same stitch close the openings.

Step #7: Admire your work.

Step #8: Cut out monster blobs.

Step #9: Place in bowl and patiently wait for the fun to begin.
