Sorry I wasn't more clear - I'm talking about the large bean bags for people to sit in. That would take a lot of beans. :D

Yeah...that would take a lot of beans, and if you slopped something liquid on them, they might sprout! Doug :oops:

Walmart had kits last year. You bought the deflated bags and bags of Styrofoam "beads". We also added some shredded scrap foam for a stiffer feel to the bag. I also saw them at Meijer's.

I don't know what stores you have by you..

Would these work? Hmm, link won't work for ebay. I did a search for Bean Bag Chairs and it came up with a cheap, beanless bag with a soccer ball design.

Interesting find Lynn. Great price too - I just wonder how long before my kids pop them. :thinking:

I might give these a try.

Bean bag chairs?

Far out man! Like, that's HAPPENING!

When does the party start? I'll bring the BONG!!!

I still miss my chocolate brown one.

My first thought was Spencer Gifts, but they don't seem to have the traditional ones online. Maybe in the store:

If you just want the styrofoam beads you can check your local styrofoam dealer. They usualy have huge bulk plastic bags of the beads.

Walmart and Target both have a large selection online...I just checked. Also have seen them in the stores too. You may want to try Big Lots too.
