Snap Bags are soft corduroy fabric bean bags designed for easier throwing and catching than a ball as well as snapping, weighted input which can be calming, and so many more uses. A set of six comes with a mesh drawstring bag which can be used as a target for a quick toss game as my son and Grandpa enjoyed today. Each individual bag is about six inches long and can be joined together in a yard long chain. The sturdy snaps are designed to hold up to repeated use which is great for fine motor training working on strength or dressing skills.
Each bag is appliqued with a number, so sequencing can also be incorporated into play with Snap Bags. Two of each color (orange, yellow, and green) are included so they may also be used for a matching game.
From the website:
Snap Bags, 6-Linking Beanbags with Endless Game Possibilities
Throwing and catching are made easy with two Snap Bags linked together. They create a calming presence when all six are attached and used as a shoulder or lap weight. Snap Bags open an entirely new world of gross-motor, fine-motor and social skill game opportunities.
Other features and benefits:
• Introduces colors, numbers and shapes–great for sorting and matching

• Booklet included with easy, medium and challenging play options
Ages 3+
