Bean Bag in a child's hands
A bean bag in yellow, 7 x 9 x 2 cm. Two centimetres thick is the measurement that matters: thin enough to sit flat on a head or a shoulder for balancing, thick enough to fill a small hand for throwing. A bag that manages both is why this is one object and not two. Yellow is the third of the primary colours in the set. The red and blue bags are separate items. The bags are filled to hold their shape without being hard, so they can be caught as well as thrown.
Gross Motor Control
Throwing and catching activities develop hand-eye coordination and bilateral integration.
Proprioceptive Awareness
The weighted filling helps children understand body position and force regulation.
Balance & Coordination
Balancing bean bags on different body parts enhances body awareness and control.
Visual Tracking
Following the yellow bean bag's movement strengthens visual motor skills.
How to present it
Clear a space of at least 6 feet. Place the bean bag in a small basket at the edge of the work area. Invite one or two children to participate.
- 1Begin by holding the bean bag with both hands, feeling its weight and texture
- 2Demonstrate gentle underhand tossing to yourself, catching with both hands
- 3Pass the bean bag from one hand to the other at waist height

3 tips for parents

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions and weight of this yellow bean bag?
This bean bag is designed for small hands, typically measuring 4-5 inches square and weighing approximately 100-150 grams. The size and weight are specifically chosen to help children ages 3-6 develop proper grip strength and hand-eye coordination.
How does the ribbed fabric texture benefit sensory development?
The ribbed texture provides important tactile feedback that stimulates nerve endings in children's hands. This sensory input helps develop tactile discrimination, supports the development of the stereognostic sense, and provides the brain with valuable information about texture, weight, and spatial awareness.
What Montessori activities can be done with this bean bag?
Children can use this bean bag for walking on the line while balancing it on their head or shoulder, tossing and catching games to develop gross motor skills, sorting activities by texture or weight, movement games that cross the midline, and as part of obstacle courses or group activities.
Is the bean bag washable and what is the filling made of?
The outer fabric cover is typically spot-cleanable with mild soap and water. The filling is usually made of plastic pellets or dried beans that provide appropriate weight and flexibility. Always check the care label and ensure the bag is completely dry before use to prevent mold growth.
How many bean bags should a classroom have for group activities?
For a classroom of 20-25 children, we recommend having at least 12-15 bean bags to allow for partner work and small group activities. Having multiple colors, including several yellow ones, supports sorting, pattern-making, and team activities while ensuring each child has access to materials.
