Learning Activities Using Dried Beans

During the years I taught preschool and Kindergarten, I learned that the number of things you can teach using a bag of dried beans is pretty much endless.  If you have a bag of dried beans and a Sharpie marker, you can teach several early learning concepts.  If you have several bags of dried beans of varying varieties and paints, you can teach a LOT of early learning concepts.  With a little time and experience in the classroom, you can probably come up with a long list of things you can teach your kids with a bag or two of dried beans.  To get you started, here is a list of learning activities using dried beans.
