They're good for your heart...
Well, you know the rest. That was the song Jack was singing while we were playing with (what else?) beans!
I've had a big container of dried beans ever since I stole this idea and realized that the fun wasn't worth the clean up.
I don't know why it took me over a year to realize I should just put them outside!
They've been having a blast for the last week. And, bonus, beans in the sand table means they aren't tracking in sand!
I think I'm finally onto something here...

Good idea!
Fun! I hate sand...a few stray beens is a lot better than a sandy floor. I was thinking about getting Eli a sandbox this spring. How cool would it be to fill the whole thing with beans:)
You are a genius! I hate sand and this would work so much better.
I have been planning to do a blog post about beans too..
My kids put them on the tramploline and call them jumping beans. AND they buried a few in the sandbox and they sprouted. HA!
So we were growing beans in our sandbox...until Hayden ripped them up.
How do you get the sand out of your sandbox?
I did something similar once with fish rocks. You are smart to do it outside, I unfortunately was not.
They look like they're having a blast!
Unfortunately, my mother decided to let Itty Bit go crazy with beans in her backyard... and it was impossible to clean it all up from the grass...
Take a wild guess? Yep, she has bean plants all over the place in random locations in her lawn now! hee hee!
(Can't say I didn't warn ya :)
Genius! So nice when we can send them outside to play
I never thought of that! Of course, we'd have to do it in the summer, but what a fantastic idea!
Beans! Awesome idea. We have rice in ours but rice is too small. Stealing your idea!
Genius!
I thought it was "the magical fruit!"
