Pit and Play Sensory Beanbags – Rainbow Orange

Bright, warm and full of playful energy, the Pit and Play Rainbow Orange Sensory Beanbag brings colour and sensory exploration together in one beautifully simple toy. Handmade in the Netherlands and filled with natural cherry pits, this tactile beanbag encourages children to explore through touch, movement and imagination, with endless possibilities for child-led play.

The natural cherry pit filling gives the beanbag a gentle weight and distinctive feel, while the soft textured fabric provides another layer of sensory discovery. Children can hold it in their hands, squeeze and manipulate it, carry it around, or experiment with how it moves when rolled, thrown or dropped.

A little beanbag with many possibilities

There is no single way to play with a Pit and Play beanbag. Rainbow Orange might become a piece of pretend in a play, use it for throwing and catching, balancing and stacking, sorting by colour, or simply gathering and arranging their favourite pieces. As an open-ended play material, it leaves the direction of play entirely in the child's hands.

The vibrant orange colour can also become part of early colour exploration. Children might group it with similar shades, create colour sequences or combine it with other Rainbow Collection beanbags to build their own rainbow.

Sensory exploration through everyday play

The combination of natural cherry pits and tactile fabric makes this more than a colourful play piece. Its weight provides proprioceptive feedback as children carry, lift and move it, while the different texture encourages hands-on exploration.

Suitable from around six months, once children are able to grasp objects independently, Rainbow Orange can remain part of a child's play environment for years. As children develop, its role can naturally change from a simple sensory object to a resource for imaginative games, movement activities, sorting and early learning.

Handmade with care

Each Pit and Play Sensory Beanbag is handmade in the Netherlands, including through social workshops that support socially inclusive employment. The brand combines thoughtful design with responsible production, creating simple play materials that have a purpose without limiting children's imagination.

The beanbag is made using OEKO-TEX® certified fabric and features a secure inner pocket to contain 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.
