Fun Express Bean Bags for Kids (Bulk Set of 12 in Assorted Colors) Great for Classroom, Home and Play for Kids

I purchased these for a bbq I was having because I didn't have time to make my own for the bean bag toss I set up for the kids. I did not have a problem with any of them breaking and the kids were pretty rough with them. At one point my husband and I were throwing them at each other and they didn't break. They are a good size and the colors are bright and fun.

Great weight in each bag, good strong material used and each one appears to be sewn together very well. Using these in balance coordination exercises during physical therapy for a family member. I bought another set of lighter weight beanbags that are different shapes and smaller in size than these. They go together very well for coordination exercises while on a balance pad. I also have a bean bag game so if I every need more I've got them for that too!

I've seen in some of the reviews that these bags did not hold up. I've only used them several times so far, so don't know about their longevity yet. But for my purpose, the bags are great. I have a family child care and care for a multi-age group. The bags work for any age. Light enough for the little ones, but substantial enough for the older ones. Their size and weight are perfect for what I use them for.

These are surprisingly well made and durable for the price. They have a little odor like new pool toys. We left them out overnight to off-gas and they're fine now. My 2 yr old is having a great time throwing these into a bowl or laundry basket and playing catch with them, but their color variety lends its-self to patterning and sorting as well. Fun open-ended toy!

Used these bean bags for a Domestic Violence Donation Drive that was based out of a child's field day. The kids ranged in age from 1-10 and they were all capable of picking up, holding, and tossing the bags with no problem. The bags were beautifully made and very bright and colorful so we had no issues locating them at the end of the event. The amount of bags were more than enough and being they they were of great success I actually used them for my sons birthday. At the party the kids ranged im age from 1-7 and had no issues throwing them and seemed to really enjoy playing with them. They also make great weights for tablecloths.

These bean bags are fun colors, light weight, and great quality. The seams are reinforced and they are heavy enough to use in bean bag tosses but light enough to use in partner games tossing back and forth. I use them for creative movement classes and enjoy practicing balances with them on different body parts, practicing tossing aim, and coordination. I would recommend these products to anyone and plan to purchase more sets!

UPDATED 11/21/13: After carefully ensuring the numbers on the tags on the bags matched their info (they make a few different bean bags AND one of them has been replaced so rep got back to me so we were sure about the ones I got) I was told the small, hard bits are "gravel"! Bizarre but I guess that was to add weight. WHy the heck they don't just fill them with beans or rice is beyond me...Anyway, no worries about peanut or tree nuts.. These are just what I was looking for but with peanut, tree nuts and sesame seed anaphylaxis allergy in my 4 yr old grandson, I don't dare allow him to play with them until I find out what was used to fill them. I should have asked up front but didn't think of it until I got them. The label says Made in China but also says "safety tested for children of all ages". What does THAT mean? Sounds like nonsense to me... These are from Oriental Trading Company which is a company I ordered from a lot when I taught at a nursery school, but that was long before kids were cropping up with these severe allergies. By feeling the bags, I know there is some type of plastic used; those "beans" are hollow. But there are also hard objects that could be anything. Some of those can be broken down in the bag with my fingers, and other hard bits are solid & cannot be squashed. My fear is that the "safety testing" did not include peanut or tree nuts or anything concerning possible allergic reactions. If I'm able to find out, I'll update this..

I facilitated a Children's Christmas Party Dec 2012 and we built the cornholes for the children to use as an activity. I purchased these bean bags and they were fantastics. The children loved them. They are durable. (we had over 100 children at the party and they held up) We will be using them at future events. Price is great. Thanks to the seller for having these available. I shopped around and other places had ridiculous prices.
