Homemade snow

I guessed it might happen one day. He'd already discovered the zip.
I remember as a child surreptitiously lunging my hands into the cool rolling cloud of balls, my secret pleasure.
So when the bean-bag actually burst last night I decided to let him go for it; to let him fulfil a 30 year-old fantasy of mine. Yes it was devilish to clean up, but it was worth it. Homemade snow. I expect I'll still be finding little white beans when he's a teenager. Happy memory balls.

I had those episodes here before...
But after severeal too many times, I just decided to get rid of the bean bags.
Quite often I still come across those little balls when cleaning around!

Good luck :)
