Pit and Play Sensory Beanbags – Pastel Orange

Warm, cheerful and wonderfully tactile, the Pit and Play Pastel Orange Sensory Beanbag brings a gentle glow of colour to children's play. Handmade in the Netherlands and filled with natural cherry pits, this beautifully simple beanbag combines softness, weight and texture to create an inviting sensory experience with plenty of freedom for children to decide how they want to play.

The natural cherry pit filling gives Pastel Orange a satisfying weight that is easy for little hands to notice and explore, while the soft fabric offers a contrasting tactile experience. Children can pick it up, squeeze it, carry it, roll it or pass it from hand to hand, discovering how the beanbag feels and moves as they play.

A little burst of sunshine

The soft pastel orange shade has a warm, uplifting quality that works beautifully within open-ended play. Children can combine it with other Pit and Play colours to sort, group and create patterns, or choose colours for their own imaginary worlds. It might become a precious treasure, a tiny pillow for a favourite figure, a parcel to deliver or simply an object to investigate and carry from one place to another.

Pastel Orange also lends itself naturally to active play. Children can throw and catch it, roll it across the floor, balance it on different parts of the body or include it in simple movement games. The weighted filling makes each movement feel satisfying and gives children an opportunity to notice how the beanbag changes as it travels through space.

Exploring weight, texture and movement

The combination of soft fabric and natural cherry pit filling makes the Pastel Orange beanbag particularly engaging to explore through the senses. Children can feel the difference between the gentle surface and the weight within, notice how it shifts in their hands and discover how it behaves when squeezed, rolled or tossed.

These simple experiences encourage focused, hands-on exploration while introducing natural opportunities to notice qualities such as weight, texture and movement. There is no need for a set activity or outcome; the beanbag can simply become part of whatever play is happening that day.

Suitable from around six months, once children can grasp objects independently, Pastel Orange can continue to be enjoyed through toddlerhood and the preschool years, taking on new roles as children's play becomes more imaginative and active.

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.
