SPECIAL PROJECTS - BEANBAGS

Make beanbags at your party. Sew the three sides of the bags ahead of time. Put a big bowl of assorted beads and buttons on the table where everyone can reach it, and let the children fill their bags. Staple the open ends closed, or let the children sew their bags closed. Play Bull's-Eye Toss with the beanbags. Each child takes home as a party favor the beanbag he or she made. Make sure the children are old enough to know not to put the beads and buttons in their mouths.
