As kids grow they need to learn how to balance their bodies, so using bean bags during music and movement activities can help. When twirling bean bags kids are focused on the movement and have to pay attention to the objects around them and other children in their group. This helps develop their sensory awareness, which is key to helping them keep safe.
In addition, tossing and catching bean bags promotes hand-eye coordination and improves fine motor skills. Tossing and catching also helps kids develop their core muscle strength. To make this activity more fun, try adjusting the height of the limbo stick and encourage kids to limbo under it while holding a bean bag with their hands. This helps build flexibility, body awareness and gross motor skills development.
Aside from improving posture, bean bags help children focus by reducing stress and anxiety and creating a comfortable space for reading and relaxing. These flexible seating options can enhance the learning experience for all students, and they are particularly useful for children with ADHD.
Bean bag chairs can add comfort and a stylish touch to any room in the home, whether it is a playroom or a lounge space for gaming or movie watching. Many styles come in colors that complement any decor, from espresso browns for a casual living room to polar white for a modern entertainment area. Creative motifs can allow kids to decorate their bean bags in themes they love, from Hello Kitty to Harry Potter.
