It's easy for you or your older child to sew a square, and it's fun to think of variations on it, from little treasure pouches to sachets to change purses. If your sewing machine is in working order, square beanbags are easy to whip up. (Kids learning to sew can also make them by hand, but it's not exactly last-minute.) Cut two five-inch squares of fabric and sew them together, right sides facing each other, leaving room to pour in the beans. Have your child turn the bag right-side out, poke out the corners from the inside with a pencil, pour in some dried beans or rice, and stitch up the last side by hand. Three beanbags tied up in ribbon make a nice juggling set for a kid's pal. For a sachet (which adults may prefer), substitute fragrant herbs such as chamomile or mint for the beans.
