This time I have proposed the throw-shape-bags on facebook with the request for play suggestions. Incredibly inspiring what has been thought up here. Enjoy with me!

Recognize/sort

-fun sorting games by color and/or shape
-name shapes and colors

-throw everything on the ground and say; what a mess, we're all going to clean up. Then name who gets to clean up which color and/or shape.
-use to practice spatial concepts; stand on something red, sit next to a triangle, put your hand under a square, put something yellow above a circle etc. etc. It strikes me every time how many children have difficulty applying these concepts while, for example, in toddler Cito's, they are expected to master this. Precisely because toddlers learn by doing and experiencing, this is very suitable material!

-take the shape .... And put it on your head and turn it around ..
-in combination with the Bilibo pixel color dice you make a game. Take the shapes with the same colors as the color dice. Throw the color dice and name the shape with the same color.

-play the game: I spy with my little eye and the shape is... The child who has thought of something may walk to the object while balancing with the shape on his head.
-put them in a row. Point to someone and ask them to take the star shape, for example.
-hide and then give the order to find a certain color or shape.
-with 2 whiteboard dice: 1 with the shapes and 1 with the colors describe or draw. Then take turns throwing and find the right bag

-hide "in" the color of the bag
-in combination with the feel-learn game of learning resources to use

Feel

- feel play with bare feet on it. And then give commands to which shape or color they can step over
- feel game, what shape do you feel and do you still remember what color it was?
-very nice in combination with your dice with insert sleeves. Make cards with shapes and insert them in the dice. Put the 'throw bags shapes' in a bag provided. Throw the dice and let the child pick the same shape from the bag by feeling.
- fun for blind/visually impaired children to learn shapes
-squeeze gently. Great for children with sensory integration
-name the shape blindfolded
-feel memory
-in combination with the feel box or the touch wall

Throwing/catching

- stand in a circle and then someone throws a bean bag to another, who has to say what shape and/or color it is
-just throw it over
-practice juggling, with one or more bags
-can throwing
-throw bags into a bucket
-and a newspaper hanging on a line between two chairs and torn to pieces
-knock over cones with these bags. The composition makes it easier to grab and throw than a ball
- the child lying on a roll with his chest, standing up to throw a bag to the cones for example. Very good for muscles and balance.
-put it on a tilted seesaw, stomp on it so that the bag flies into the air and then try to catch it! Great combination exercise, action-reaction and eye-hand coordination!

-make holes in an old sheet with shapes as target and hang it up. Let the children form the 'throwing bags' by throwing the correct shapes in the sheet
- in combination with sidewalk chalk you make a throwing game. Draw the shapes on the sidewalk and throw the 'throwing bag shapes' in the right shape. Fun for a gym class.

- throw relay in the gym. Make a dice with matching shapes. Different hoops in a row. If you throw the shape you can throw the bag to the next hoop. Try to get all the bags to the other side
-put on your foot and kick a child across from you

Cooperation

- make sure you touch the ground with... 3 hands, 2 feet and 1 circle
- bring a triangle to the other side with two people without using your hands

To play

-Working with the dump truck and an excavator as if it were sand. Great for in the classroom or inside the house.
-Let it slide off the wobble
-Nice soft cushions for the cuddly toys
-Just put it in the closet and see what the kids think of to do with it? Keep it simple
-Place the 'throw bag shapes' on the table. Have the children look at them carefully and then close their eyes. Remove a shape and have the children look again. Which one is gone?
-you can play a game when passing the bags

Balance

-Balance games: lay it on your head or on the back of your hand and walk along, lie on your back and place a bag on your foot and move it up and down.
-bean bags, clamp between your knees and jump

Calculate

-How nice for the math bootcamps that I organize! Here, each table has a different color and shape (including a star!). Well, and then you get games like throwing in boxes like 3x7, 5x7 etc., throwing from one hand to the other and saying the table, putting it on your head and walking crosswise over the hundred track while saying the table, juggling with multiple bean bags, clamping between your knees and jumping in the table boxes, throwing multiplication tables to each other, etc. etc. Many possibilities, which also arise while doing and are thought up by the children.
