Sewing- bean bags

The other night my kids were restless and wanting to do a sewing project. So we broke out some scrap fabric and headed to town.

Tic tac toe bean bags
These are great for a starter project and little hands love to help out.

Cut out two square of the same size I do around 4 in by 4in two different colors.
Take one piece of fabric with the right side facing, using a stitch of your choice sew and x or and o  on it. Then match the to pieces of fabric together with right sides of fabric facing each other and sew around the edges leaving a small opening at the end to turn the fabric right side out. Now let the little hands fill about 3/4 of the way full with dried beans. Tuck open ends under and sew shut.
Make a set of 3 x's and 3 o's.
All you need is an empty laundry basket and let the kids take turns throwing them in. And all it took was about 20 mins to make but gave a nightful of fun.
