I want to make an "I spy" toy bag. Where do you get the little white pieces inside and are there any free patterns?

Hadn't seen before neat idea. A flower for you

It looks a great idea, i would keep it out of reach of small children , the small toys,rice,beans would be a choking hazard. Five years+ maybe OK

I had no clue of what a spy bag is. But see you got some really good help. *2U

for lbrow - here is picture of I spy bag -- basically just a little bag you make and fill with dry rice or beans and add little trinkets for kids to look for by "mooshing" around with their fingers! It has a clear vinyl window on one side to see thru to find the items. Often people attach a list of items that are in the bag for the kids to try to find.

wow thanks sharon that looks pretty neat

Emily I do not know what an I spy toy bag is. Please enlighten me. I'm sorry *4U

Ok, here you go -- 1st link is free tutorial on how to make them.

Second Link is where to purchase some cute "made in hoop" ones and also items to put in them!

Hope this helps you! Have fun!!!!

Also, for the filler inside - can use dry rice or beans or purchase filler from JoAnns or Michaels I think. Then add your items to look for.
