RE: Stuffing for Bean Bags
If you use rice or beans, put them into a plastic bag first. It would have to be the cheap sandwich bag without the ziplock feature. Close it with a tight yarn wrap, not a rubberband (they deteriorate). Or seal it with a proper adhesive.

Wouldn't aquarium gravel be sharp?

RE: Stuffing for Bean Bags
Try using long grain rice to fill bean bags. Rice gives it enough weight to through but not too much weight that even a young child can use it. Also if the seam does happen to break open and the child playing with them still had the habit of putting things in their mouth the risk of chocking on the rice is very slim. It is an inexpencive substitute to beans. Rice can be washed in the washing machine just remember to wash in cold water and let air dry.

Try using aquarium gravel. It's clean and won't be affected by water.

I use sand to stuff mine with. Make sure your stitches are as small as possible. - Mary

I've heard of breaking up styrofoam peanuts but also crushed nut shells work well. At least they will not sprout if they get wet. - Susan

We just refilled our kids' bean bag chairs with left over Styrofoam packing peanuts. They seem to be working well. - Michelle
