5 Activities for Kids Using Expired Coffee and Coffee Sacks
As schools begin to let out and Summer Vacation begins, we know how hard it can be to keep the kids entertained for weeks on end. While we do not claim to be experts in childcare, we do know a thing or two about coffee sacks and coffee beans so we figured we'd offer our two cents on some fun, cheap, and easy ways to tie those two things together! Without further ado, here are five simple activities for kids using coffee sacks and expired coffee!
1. Coffee Sack Race
You remember Field Day back in elementary and middle school? The egg toss, the hula hoop contest, the sack race! Relive your glory days (and show the kids who’s boss!) by competing with the kids in an old school sack race! Fun for all ages and makes for a fantastic outdoor activity!

2. Coffee Sack Pet Bed
Coffee sacks make great pet beds and they’re simple to make - a great craft to keep the kids busy! Just have them take a spare pillow and shove it into a clean coffee sack, then allow your pet to curl up and relax! It’s that easy.

3. Coffee Sack Tote Bag
This one is better for the older kids who are showing an interest in sewing or have a passion for working with their hands. Raw and recycled materials are all the rage right now. Turn a coffee sack into a wearable, useable tote just by adding handles. Be sure to wash it first!

4. Coffee Bean Sensory Bins
Instead of tossing your expired coffee beans in the trash, turn them into a fun sensory activity for your kids! Allow those kiddos to explore their sense of smell and touch by dumping your old coffee beans in a bin and allowing them to dig around with a toy excavator or some plastic utensils. You can even use old coffee grinds to give them more of a dirt-like texture to explore.
5. Coffee Playdough
Did you know you can make playdough with just 4 simple ingredients? Mix together flour, used coffee grounds, water, and salt to create a malleable material your kids can use to entertain themselves for hours!
Mix together equal parts flour and the wet coffee grounds with a pinch of salt. Slowly add water and knead your dough until it reaches a soft but firm consistency. If you add too much water, level it out with some flour. Be sure to keep it in an airtight container so it’ll last longer!
We hope this list of activities brings some caffeinated joy to your kiddos' Summer Vacation! If you decide to participate in any of the activities above, be sure to snap a pic and tag us on Instagram or Facebook! We'd love to see how your projects turn out!

I gave it all i had to make it work in my marriage but he still left me and our kids. His family fought for me and still nothing changed and he left broken and sad. I manage to keep going on with the hope everything will get better for us one day and he will be back to you. He is a great father to the kids and i had great belief i will see him return back to us. I was lucky enough to got in contact with Dr Isikolo who indeed knew how to fix the problem and he did and to my surprise, my husband came back home to me. I am still amazed how it was possible but indeed this true. The result of his work is assured to manifest after 48 hours. My husband returned and i know better Dr Isikolo is truly a honest man anyone can trust. He is good in his job of fixing problems between partner and have them get back together again. You can read about his works on his page (https://isikolo-temple.com) or might as well text him via WhatsApp on: +2348133261196.
Finally!!! I am the happiest woman to be called a mother soon. I am saying this because I am very grateful to Dr. Odunga for helping me with my relationship problems faced in my marriage due to the issues of infertility after 7 years of marriage. My husband and I have tried so many options for a successful fertility including IVF but it was futile. My husband’s family have said different abusive words to me and my husband and he almost stopped loving me after many years of marriage without a child from me. It was a long time of sorrow for me and it affected me mentally. Dr. Odunga was introduced to me by a friend whom he helped and that was how I contacted Dr Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and within 2 days of contact, he did the spell and I successfully conceived after sleeping with my husband as he said. It was very surprising and overwhelming with joy and still unbelievable because I have been seeing testimonies of spell casters but never believed I would be helped by one. Dr. Odunga is indeed a great spell caster. Get in contact with this man to help you solve your problems at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com or Whats App his phone number at +2348167159012. Soon I will be giving birth to my baby and ill create a blog for my pregnancy journey
