Cut the white material into 2 circle shapes. Fold the yarn into desired
lengths and knot the ends, to make the hair with the knotted ends to
be sewn inside the beanbag to hold it in. Keep adding yarn all around
the top and sides of the bag until you are happy with the amount of "hair"
you have created. I found it easier to sew it all together at the same
time, but if you want to, you can sew it onto the back of the head now
so that when you sew the front to the back, it won't move around. Just
be sure to sew it with the knots on the edge and the loops into the middle
of the circle on the outside.
Sew on buttons for eyes, nose, and mouth on
the front piece. Place the front and back pieces together with the buttons
in the middle and the inside out. Place the "hair" (if you haven't done it
already) in between the pieces, and pin it all together. Use alot of pins
so that it won't move on you when you are trying to sew it. Sew around
the outside, leaving about 3 inches to turn it right-side out. Do this,
and then stuff it about 3/4 full with dried beans or rice. Then you
can either hand sew, or machine sew carefully the opening shut.
Then you just need something to throw them at or into. We used a pot, but I
think a better idea would be to take an old piece of cardboard and cut holes into
it. Mark each hole with a different score and keep track of how much each child
gets total. I would let them throw it a couple of times! I give prizes for the highest
score and the farthest away!
HAVE FUN!!
