Bean Box

Krisgo Leave a comment

Fun for playtime!

Beans-001-300x217

  • Large plastic container with lid
  • dry beans (whatever is cheapest) – enough to fill bottom of container and then some (or dry feed corn)
  • plastic beach toys; scoop, funnel, rake, cup, etc.
  • kids old enough to know not to eat the beans

To play:
Put beans into container, add toys. Have kids play with the beans inside of the container.
Kids will spend hours in front of their ‘bean box’, scooping and pouring.
Clean up: Snap on lid and store bean box in a cool dry area. Sweep up run-away beans.

Bubble Wrap Game

Krisgo Leave a comment

Fun for the family, classroom or scout meeting!

bubblewrap-gameYou’ll need:

  • Roll of Bubble Wrap
  • Masking Tape
  • A Few Sheets of Paper and Marker (optional)

Directions: Roll out the bubble wrap and lay it on the floor starting at the door. Tape it into place. On each sheet of paper write a different instruction: (walk, hop, stomp, tip toe, etc.) Tape these down next to the bubble wrap ‘road’ at intervals.

To play:

When the kids walk in, they have to follow the instructions (hop, tip toe, etc.).

You can judge them by how many bubbles popped or how loud they are, or by the fewest bubbles popped and how quiet they are.

Either way, everyone wins because it’s awesomely fun!
