Pit and Play Sensory Beanbags – Pastel Green

Soft, fresh and beautifully tactile, the Pit and Play Pastel Green Sensory Beanbag brings a gentle hint of nature to children's play. Handmade in the Netherlands and filled with natural cherry pits, this simple beanbag combines soft fabric, satisfying weight and calming colour to create an inviting sensory experience with plenty of room for open-ended exploration.

The natural cherry pit filling gives the beanbag a pleasing weight for little hands to discover, while the soft OEKO-TEX® certified fabric offers a contrasting tactile experience. Children can pick it up, squeeze it, carry it, roll it or pass it between their hands, noticing how the weight shifts and how the beanbag responds to different movements.

A little piece of tactile fun

The delicate pastel green shade brings a fresh, natural quality to play and pairs beautifully with the other colours in the Pit and Play collection. Children can use Pastel Green for colour sorting and matching, create gentle rainbow arrangements or include it within their own collections and imaginative worlds.

It can just as easily become part of a story. Perhaps it is a little leaf, a woodland treasure or a magical object discovered on an adventure. Its simple shape leaves the meaning entirely in the child's hands.

Pastel Green is also lovely for active play. Children can throw and catch it, roll it across the floor, balance it on their head or shoulder, or use it as part of their own movement games. The weighted filling gives each action a satisfying physical quality while leaving plenty of freedom to experiment.

Exploring weight, texture and movement

The combination of soft fabric and natural cherry pit filling makes Pastel Green an engaging object for sensory exploration. Children can feel the fabric beneath their fingers, notice its weight as they lift it and discover how the filling moves when the beanbag is squeezed, rolled or tossed.

These simple experiences encourage children to notice the qualities of the objects around them through hands-on play. There is no need for a structured activity; the beanbag can simply be explored, carried and incorporated into whatever play is unfolding.

Suitable from around six months, once children can grasp objects independently, Pastel Green can continue to be enjoyed throughout toddlerhood and the preschool years, taking on new roles as children's interests and imaginations change.

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.

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.

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, 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.
