This set of 8 soft bean bags comes in different shapes, with the name of each shape stitched onto one side. Each bean bag is a different colour, making them a fun and interactive way to help children learn basic shapes and colours through hands-on play. These versatile bean bags are ideal for classroom activities, group games, and outdoor play, encouraging physical movement, shape recognition, and cooperative play.

Bean bags are an essential resource in any early learning environment or physical education kit, offering a safe, soft option for throwing, catching, balancing, and counting games. The soft construction reduces the risk of damage to indoor surfaces and provides a gentle option for younger children to engage in physical play. Unlike balls, these bean bags stay where they land, providing a stable target for accuracy games and minimising distractions caused by rolling items. Their combination of visual, tactile, and kinaesthetic learning supports a multisensory approach to shape and colour recognition, fine and gross motor development, and social skills through group activities.
