A bean bag (also beanbag) is a sealed bag containing dried beans, PVC pellets or expanded polystyrene, with various applications. As bean bag games are not apt to cause injury, they are referenced in the famous aphorism by the Irish-American politico Finley Peter Dunne that "Politics ain't bean bag."

Games

  • Bean bag toss (sometimes called cornhole in the Ohio Valley of the United States), is a game similar to horseshoes and quoits, played with bean bags and two goals.
  • Footbag (also known as Hacky Sack, which is actually a trademark) is a type of ball-shaped bean bag that is used to play various games.
  • Bean bags are also commonly used for juggling.
  • In gridiron football beanbags are used to mark the point of a change of possession (where a punt or kickoff is caught, an interception is made, or a fumble occurs)

How do you restuff a bean bag chair?
Q. My son has a bean bag chair and it's getting a little flat. It is filled with tiny styrofoam beads. I don't have any idea where to find the exact same material. What can I use to restuff the bean bag chair?

A. You can use shipping peanuts or go to a fabric store and buy the little beads you mentioned...just ask an associate where to find them...our JoAnn keeps them with the pillow forms and styrofoam sheets. I think the shipping peanuts are cheaper though.

Where can I buy the little styrofoam balls that go inside a bean bag?
Q. I don't need the actual bean bag itself, just the filler that goes inside. I've searched for sites that just sell the tiny styrofoam balls, but I can't find one. Thanks

A. I make juggling bean bags and use what the pro's use. Birdseed...Yep..Birdseed. It makes them the right weight, feel great and is ok for the environment if they break open outside. If you really want the styrofoam balls...any fabric or craft store should have them. Look at ones near you. If it's for a beanbag chair...you may be better off cost wise using foam chips. Good Luck.
