Music Education Tool: Bear Paw Creek's 4" Square Bean Bags

Have you ever wondered what thousands of one of the best music education tools, Bean bags, look like? Well, pictured on the right are 400 of each color, equaling 2,400!

We packaged these up into 200 sets of 12 Bean Bags, two of each color. Bear Paw Creek's Bean Bags are made of a soft poplin fabric and filled with high-density polyethylene pellets. They are made in the USA, machine washable, and come with a drawstring storage bag.

My Mom taught me how to sew when I was little, and I remember one of my first hand-sewing projects was to make a bean bag. The difference then was that I filled it with real beans. I never would have thought I would be sewing thousands of bean bags later in life to help provide teachers, parents, and therapists with music education tools. One of my favorite parts about sewing these is getting to work with the beautiful and bright colors.

    Hi
    For your bean bags you should have a yellow bucket for your yellow bean bags and a different colored bucket to match each colored bean bag.

      Sam, That’s a GREAT idea! I got the buckets last fall when they had all the back to school supplies out. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them again.
