Bean Bag in a child's hands
The red bean bag measures 7 × 9 × 2 cm and is made of cotton. Its texture invites the child to explore it by touch, and the bag is easy to grip. A single bag can be tossed from hand to hand, thrown at a target or balanced on the hand or the head, and it prepares the child for throwing. The bags come in the primary colours red, blue and yellow, so they can also be used for visual discrimination: the child sorts or pairs them by colour. Nienhuis lists the bag for use indoors and outdoors. For children aged 3 to 6.
