The activity of just dying the dry beans is a fun craft for kids. Then the possibilities for the uses are endless. I know my problem will be keeping these little toys off of the floor when they have finished playing with them. But because they are not very expensive, I will not feel bad just sweeping them up and placing them in the compost.

Smart! But what would you do with dies beans? I guess these little colorful items can be used in artwork to take the place of macaroni. arodrigez5298921 has expressed perhaps as a means of an educational opportunity - liking learning color or counting. I guess your little one can help you decide.

This is a great idea! It seems like it would work really well for math homework and other educational opportunities.
