Pit and Play Sensory Beanbags – Bright Green

Fresh, lively and full of energy, the Pit and Play Bright Green Sensory Beanbag brings a cheerful burst of colour to children's play. Handmade in the Netherlands and filled with natural cherry pits, this tactile beanbag invites children to explore through touch, movement and imagination, offering countless possibilities for open-ended play.

Its natural cherry pit filling gives the beanbag a satisfying weight that children can feel as they pick it up, carry it, roll it or pass it between their hands. The textured fabric adds another sensory element, encouraging children to notice how it feels, moves and responds as they play.

A bright spark for imaginative play

The vivid green shade can inspire all kinds of playful ideas.  Children can introduce it into small-world play, storytelling or pretend games, giving it a new identity whenever their story changes.

Bright Green also works beautifully in colour-based activities. Children can sort it with other green objects, compare different shades or combine it with the Rainbow Collection to create colourful sequences and patterns.

Explore, move and discover

The beanbag's weight and tactile qualities make it ideal for hands-on exploration. Children can investigate how it feels when squeezed, how far it rolls, or what happens when it is tossed gently into the air.

As they grow more confident, it can become part of throwing and catching games, balancing challenges, movement activities or simple obstacle courses. These playful activities support hand-eye coordination, body awareness and motor development without taking away from the fun of simply playing.

Suitable from around six months, once children can grasp objects independently, Bright Green can remain a familiar and versatile play material throughout toddlerhood and the preschool years.

Handmade in the Netherlands

Pit and Play combines thoughtful design with responsible production and social inclusion. Each beanbag is handmade in the Netherlands, including through social workshops that create meaningful opportunities for inclusive employment.

Bright Green is made with OEKO-TEX® certified fabric and features a secure inner pocket containing the natural cherry pit filling. Pit and Play products are independently tested to meet EN71 toy safety standards and are CE marked, offering reassurance for everyday play.

About Pit and Play

Pit and Play is a Dutch brand creating beautifully simple, thoughtfully designed play materials that encourage children to explore through their senses, movement and imagination. Their philosophy is rooted in the idea that children do not need toys with a single purpose or prescribed way of playing. Instead, simple, tactile materials can provide the freedom to invent, experiment and discover their own possibilities.

Based in the Netherlands, Pit and Play combines thoughtful design with responsible, socially inclusive production. Their products are handmade with care, including through social workshops that create meaningful opportunities for people who may otherwise find it more difficult to access employment. This approach is an important part of the brand's ethos, ensuring that the story behind each product is just as thoughtful as the product itself.

Pit and Play places a strong emphasis on natural, carefully considered materials and responsible manufacturing. Their sensory beanbags are filled with natural cherry pits and made using OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics, while their products are independently tested to meet European toy safety standards. The result is a collection that brings together quality, safety, sustainability and beautiful, purposeful design.

At the heart of Pit and Play is open-ended play. Their simple designs can become part of countless different activities as children grow – from early sensory exploration and colour recognition to throwing, balancing, sorting, counting, imaginative play and small-world adventures. Rather than directing children towards one particular outcome, Pit and Play creates materials that leave room for children to decide what happens next.

This thoughtful combination of sensory discovery, open-ended play and socially responsible craftsmanship makes Pit and Play a wonderful example of how simple materials can offer rich and meaningful opportunities for play.
