Ball and Bean Bag Toss- Classic Fun {One of 100 Days of Play ideas for you}

I have taken the challenge of 100 days of play with my kids.  Making sure to connect with them everyday doing something they love.  Will you take the challenge too?

I love taking time to go back to the basics when it comes to playing with my kids.  Sometimes these basic play activities are the easiest ways to connect with your kids.  One of the basics we love is a ball/bean bag toss.

What we used

We always have plastic balls around my house and we have a set of 4 bean bags my mom made us. I recently made both boys shape themed bean bags using felt.  This was super easy or I would not have made them.  If you find you do not have balls or bean bags simply rolling up socks could work too.  We got out  a bucket.  A large bowl, basket, pitcher... could work too.

What we did

We grabbed our bucket, balls, and bean bags and headed to the hallway.  We put the bucket at one end and put a towel down as a starting line to toss from.  We took turns trying to toss our ball or bean bag into the bucket.  We had a lot of fun talking, laughing, and just enjoying one another while we played.  Anytime I can get down to my kids level and connect with them is a memory to hold onto for a lifetime.

We hope you will be inspired to play by this post.  One of my favorite sayings is "simple isn't boring".  Just because the idea of a bean bag toss may seem simple it doesn't mean it isn't FUN!

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. And with what materials you let them play with. My children are supervised when playing. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!
