Lakeshore Color Beanbags
Posted by Missy W. @ 12:18 PM
Oh how we love the simple toys. So here’s a simple review for a simple toy.
I think we’ve had these color-coded beanbags for about two and a half years and we literally play with them every day. I first spied them when I worked at a preschool. We always had them nearby, but they came in extra handy on rainy days when the kids couldn’t go outside to play. Nothing like a good old-fashioned beanbag toss to really get things going. Great for learning colors while you are at it. Bonus, they don’t really hurt when you get pinged from behind.
Sy loves to play hide and seek with the beanbags. We try to hide them on color-coordinating items to make it extra hard to find them. This is quite easy in my living room since six out of seven days of the week, I have heaps of laundry all over the room. Way easier to find colors to match that way. That’s my excuse, anyway. Sometimes we walk away mid-seek and much later I’ll find one shoved in the crack of the sofa or peeking out of Roger’s boot.
We also like to toss them into a bucket, stack them, wear them as hats, pretend they are cookies, practice juggling with them, chew on them (well, if you are Little G, that is)...the list is endless.
This is a fun, inexpensive gift for any toddler to early preschooler you know. I highly recommend them.
Eight beanbags in eight colors. 4 1/2 inches each. Yes, they have the color names printed on them. Have I ever pointed that out to Sy? No. She’s four, I haven’t focused on reading as we’re tossing a beanbag around. But it doesn’t hurt, right?
