Yield: 1 game
Cost: $5
Materials
- 5 or more pastel-colored paper or plastic cups
- Conversation heart stickers
- 4 Red felt sheets stack 2 together for cutting hearts
- Dried beans (pinto or black beans work well)
- Craft glue or fabric glue (tacky, multi‑purpose glue works best)
- Scissors
Instructions
Making the Cups
- Arrange the pastel cups upside down.
- Decorate each cup with conversation heart stickers.
- Set aside while you make the beanbag hearts.
How to Make Felt Heart Bean Bags
- Stack a couple of red felt sheets together and cut them in half vertically
- Fold the felt pieces in half.
- Cut half of a heart shape along the fold.
- Open the felt to reveal a full heart with symmetrical sides. You’ll now have two matching felt hearts because the felt was stacked.
- Outline the edge of one felt heart with glue, leaving a small border.
- Sprinkle dried beans into the center.
- Place the second felt heart on top and press firmly.
- Make sure the edges are fully sealed so beans don’t spill out.
- Let dry completely before playing.
