These whimsical bean bags were inspired by my daughter's circus
themed bedroom, and her love of tossing things around! It is a great
project for practicing color changes, as the pieces are small and colors
are changed often. All of the pieces, except the Sectioned Ball, are made with the Basic Ball pattern. You can make them in an afternoon, and with a little ingenuity, you can make a bean bag toss game with any boxes or baskets you may have around the house.
