Pit and Play Sensory Beanbags – Pastel Yellow

Bright, gentle and wonderfully tactile, the Pit and Play Pastel Yellow Sensory Beanbag brings a soft touch of sunshine to children's play. Handmade in the Netherlands and filled with natural cherry pits, this simple yet versatile beanbag combines colour, weight and texture to create an engaging sensory experience that can be enjoyed in countless ways.

The natural cherry pit filling gives the beanbag a satisfying weight for little hands to discover, while the soft OEKO-TEX® certified fabric provides a lovely contrast in texture. Children can pick it up, squeeze it, roll it, carry it or pass it from hand to hand, naturally exploring how the beanbag feels and moves.

A little ray of sunshine

The delicate pastel yellow shade brings a cheerful quality to play without being overwhelming. Children can combine Pastel Yellow with other Pit and Play colours, sorting their beanbags, creating colour groups or building collections for their own games. It might become a little sun in an imaginary world, a treasure to carry home, a cushion for a favourite toy or simply something to hold and explore.

The beanbag also works beautifully in active play. It can be tossed between friends, balanced on the head or shoulder, rolled across the floor or incorporated into simple movement games. Its soft, weighted form makes it satisfying to handle while giving children plenty of freedom to invent their own ways to play.

Discovering through the senses

The combination of tactile fabric and natural cherry pit filling gives Pastel Yellow a rich sensory quality. Children can notice its weight as they lift it, feel the softness of the fabric and discover how the filling shifts slightly as the beanbag is handled.

These simple interactions encourage children to explore texture, weight and movement at their own pace. There is no need for a prescribed activity; Pastel Yellow can simply become part of everyday play, offering something interesting to hold, move and investigate.

Suitable from around six months, once children can grasp objects independently, the beanbag can continue to be enjoyed throughout toddlerhood and the preschool years, naturally taking on new roles as children's play develops.

Handmade with care in the Netherlands

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.
