Step 1. First, I ironed and cut out a large triangle shape from the cotton napkin.  This will be used for the beanbag prop needed for the game.

Step 2. Then, I mixed acrylic paints to create pizza colors using 3 large bottle caps as palettes. I painted the entire cardboard circle a saucy mix of red and orange, and then mixed white, yellow and brown around the edges to make a golden crust. I topped it off with a yellow and white layer of cheese.

​

Step 3. Using the paints before they dried out, I painted one half of the large triangle and the top of the other half using the crust color.  I then painted the other half using the cheese color and let it dry before I added the red pepperoni circles.

 

Step 4. Using a 1-1/2 inch bottle cap, I dipped the cap in the red/orange paint and stamped or printed the circles onto the cardboard circle pizza. 

 

 

 

Step 5. While the painted pizzas were drying, I made the playing pieces for the game. Using a 1-1/2 inch bottle cap, I traced and cut twenty circles. I wrote an action such as "Hold the beanbag ABOVE your head" on each circle with a fine tipped permanent marker.  Notice that I wrote that the action was to be done alone or with a partner.  You will find a list of possible actions below, but you can also make up your own.  If I had access to a laminator, I would do this on a computer, print it out and then laminate them on heavy paper.

 

 

Step 6. When the painted pizza triangle was dry, I folded the triangle in half and sewed along the edges opposite the folded edge as shown. I then turned it inside out so that it looked like a ice cream cone.  I then filled the cone with popcorn seeds (but you can use any type of dried bean). Once it was filled, I tucked in the edges and pinned it, then stitched along the top.  Voila! A pizza-shaped beanbag.

Step 7. Place the red playing pieces in a zip-lock bag and store the pizza bean bag and cardboard pizza circle in the pizza box.
