Multitasking as a mom: cooking and playing with bean bags

After a day at work, you often just want one thing: spending time with your kids. At the same time, there's still dinner to be had. Sound familiar? Good news: with a simple game using handmade beanbags , you can cook and make your kids happy.

A game idea for children while cooking

Children often have lots of energy after school. You're in the kitchen, but they want attention. Our sensory bean bags make that perfect combination.

Here's how to make it a fun scavenger hunt game:

1. Hide the bean bags around the house, for example under a cushion or behind the sofa.

2. Give hints with “hot” and “cold” or let them search all by themselves.

3. Have your children gather and return the bags to the kitchen.

4. Hide beanbags under the Pit and Play cotton play cloths.

While you cook, they are engaged in active, imaginative play.

Why bean bags are ideal for connection

Open-ended toys: children are always coming up with new ways to play with them.

Sensory toys: feel, search, discover – this stimulates all the senses.

Relaxing and playful: children can have fun while you have your hands free.

This way, cooking doesn't become a stressful moment, but an opportunity to combine play and conviviality.

The last hiding place: a moment of connection

When dinner is ready, comes the best part. Hide one more beanbag—in your own coat or pants pocket. Your children will search and search and… eventually find it in your pocket!

A beautiful moment to cuddle and really connect after a busy day.

Practical tips

Keep changing the hiding places to keep it exciting.

Use bean bags in different colors or prints.

Combine with other forms of sensory play for extra fun, such as our matching dice.
