Busy with Beans

Filling muffin tins.

When Saylor and Mike were really little I used to have a rice box that I would pull out and let them go crazy. I forgot about it until I saw (on a wonderful friend's blog) a bean box. So today, I happened to have three two year old's that needed something to do. So I went in to my food storage and got a couple of bags of beans (you may rightly question this misuse of precious food storage-judge me if you dare). The toddler's played for awhile and then the big kids came in and just had to play too. It turned into a very wonderful way to kill over an hour-I highly recommend this activity and if I remember correctly beans are soooo much easier to pick up than rice.
