Pit and Play Sensory Beanbags – Rainbow Green

Bring a little piece of nature into children's play with the Pit and Play Rainbow Green Sensory Beanbag. Handmade in the Netherlands and filled with natural cherry pits, this beautifully tactile beanbag combines a fresh, vibrant colour with a satisfying weight and interesting texture, inviting children to explore through touch, movement and imagination.

The natural cherry pit filling gives the beanbag a gentle heaviness that children can feel as they pick it up, carry it and move it around. Its tactile outer fabric adds another dimension to sensory play, encouraging little hands to squeeze, stroke, hold and investigate the beanbag at their own pace.

A natural starting point for imaginative play

Rainbow Green lends itself beautifully to nature-inspired play. Children might gather it with other coloured beanbags, create a pretend garden, or incorporate it into a small-world landscape.

The possibilities extend far beyond imaginative play. The beanbag can be thrown and caught, balanced, stacked, hidden, sorted or used as a marker in movement games. Its simple design allows children to decide how they want to use it, making every play session different.

Exploring colour, texture and movement

The rich green colour offers natural opportunities for colour recognition and sorting. Children can compare Rainbow Green with other shades, arrange the colours of the Rainbow Collection into sequences or use the beanbags to create patterns and groups.

At the same time, the weight and tactile qualities provide a sensory experience that can support body awareness and coordination. Carrying, lifting, throwing and catching encourage children to use their hands and whole bodies as they explore how the beanbag moves.

Suitable from around six months, once children can grasp objects independently, Rainbow Green can remain a familiar part of play as children move from early sensory discovery towards more imaginative and purposeful activities.

Thoughtfully handmade in the Netherlands

Pit and Play combines simple, purposeful design with socially responsible production. Each beanbag is handmade in the Netherlands, including through social workshops that create meaningful employment opportunities and support inclusive entrepreneurship.

Rainbow Green 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.
