Some Rainy Day Fun

     Today is just one of those days where the weather makes you want to hang out in your jammies and curl up to watch a movie.  With it being half way through the school week, I thought it would be fun to make a great rainy day game for the kids to play.  Using several scraps of fabric, the kids learned how to make their own bean bags.  We cut some squares and sewed them all the way around leaving just enough room for a funnel to put the beans in with.  After filling, we quickly sewed up the remaining hole and they were done.  Easy and they were so proud to do it themselves.  Next, we found a box with a lid in our garage and cut five different squares in it just big enough for the bean bags to go through.  We then covered the lid with black fabric and glued in place.  Finally, we made some points values so the kids can keep track and this project was done!  We had a ton of fun making this and we can just keep the bean bags in the box and take it out when they want to play. :)

    To add a little more fun today, I thought I'd make a fun little lunch for the kids with a little message. :)  They totally got a kick out of it! Here are some pics. Hope you enjoy!
