Pit and Play Sensory Beanbags – Pastel Pink

Soft, pretty and wonderfully tactile, the Pit and Play Pastel Pink Sensory Beanbag brings a gentle splash of colour to children's play. Handmade in the Netherlands and filled with natural cherry pits, this beautifully simple beanbag combines texture, weight and colour to create an engaging sensory experience with plenty of scope for imaginative, child-led play.

The natural cherry pit filling gives the beanbag a satisfying weight for little hands to discover, while the soft fabric provides a contrasting tactile surface. Children can hold it, squeeze it, carry it, roll it or move it between their hands, naturally exploring how different textures and weights feel as they play.

A gentle invitation to imagine

The delicate pastel pink colour lends itself beautifully to imaginative play. Children can combine the beanbag with other Pit and Play colours to create patterns, sort by colour or build their own collections. It can also become part of storytelling and small-world play, where its purpose changes according to the story being created.

For children who enjoy active play, Pastel Pink can be thrown and caught, rolled along the floor, balanced on the body or used as a marker in simple movement games. These activities encourage coordination and body awareness while keeping play spontaneous and fun.

Exploring through the senses

The combination of tactile fabric and natural cherry pit filling gives this little beanbag an engaging sensory quality. Children can notice its weight as they lift it, explore the feel of the fabric and discover how it moves when handled in different ways.

These simple experiences encourage focused, hands-on exploration and help children become more aware of texture, weight and movement without requiring a structured activity.

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

Handmade with care in the Netherlands

Pit and Play creates simple, versatile play materials with a focus on thoughtful design, responsible production and social inclusion. Each beanbag is handmade in the Netherlands, including through social workshops that provide meaningful opportunities for inclusive employment.

Pastel Pink is made using 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, providing 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.
