Unique beanbags at the Stapelsteinen
These beanbags have the exact same rainbow and pastel colors as the Stapelstein beanbags. You'll find ready-made sets and individual beanbags here, so they match your unique Stapelstein colors.
A beanbag for every Stapelstein. You can buy Stapelsteins in many stores. These beanbags are not easy to find in stores, and they are handmade. That's why they are unique! A special addition to your toy corner. They also match perfectly with toys from Grimms and Grapat.
What can you do with Stapelstein bean bags?
Beanbags and Stapelstein go really well together.
Toss a beanbag into a Stapelstein, balance the beanbags on your head as you walk across the stones, and sort them by color within the stones. I've written a blog post about even more fun play ideas with beanbags. Let your imagination run wild. That's the beauty of this open-ended toy. Each beanbag can be combined into a game with all the other toys. The toys grow with your children, so they can definitely be used from 0 to 8 years old. They can be used in different ways each time. This makes them a very sustainable gift for the whole family, and they'll last a long time.
Are the bean bags safe?
The bean bags are handmade and all carry the CE mark, a mandatory European quality mark for safe toys. The bean bags should be regularly inspected for defects. Keep bean bags out of reach of children if damaged.
Mix and match
Every child, every household, every taste is unique. That's why the sensory bean bags are available in a wide variety of colors, fabric textures, and prints. Individual bean bags, so you can create a set that perfectly matches your theme, can be found here.
What is sensory play?
Each sensory beanbag has a different texture. This is great for stimulating the senses and promoting hand-eye coordination. It also helps children process stimuli after a busy day, for example. It's wonderful to listen to the sound of the cherry pits. Or burn off some last bit of energy by incorporating the beanbags into an obstacle course: jump over them, toss them in a basket, and walk across them barefoot.
What is open-ended toys?
In my opinion, a must-have for any play corner! There are many open-ended toys from well-known brands on the market, and the Pit & Play sensory bags, with their rainbow and pastel colors, are a perfect fit. This makes them even more versatile. Children can use their imaginations and play for hours. They can build walls and bridges, sort the beanbags by color, juggle them, or even let the dolls sleep on them. The possibilities are endless, and even for me as a parent, it's a joy to be amazed by the stories they create. Because of their open-ended nature, the beanbags are very durable; they grow with your child, making them long-lasting!
Toys that fit within the Montessori philosophy.
Montessori education encourages open-ended play, where children are free to create and explore their own play without strict rules or restrictions. Sensory bean bags stimulate the imagination and creativity and can be used to create countless games and activities. Sensory bags can also be used for educational purposes, such as color recognition, simple math, stacking, throwing, and more.
How many bean bags are recommended?
This varies per child and household. For a baby, the challenge lies in the sensory stimulation. Three beanbags might be enough for this. As more playtime becomes involved, more beanbags become more challenging, especially if siblings or friends are also playing. I would personally recommend between 6 and 15 beanbags. This way, the beanbags won't run out quickly when throwing games, and they can, for example, build taller towers.
Are sensory bean bags safe?
Pit and Play bean bags are filled with approximately 130 grams of pure cherry stones and measure 14 by 14 centimeters. They comply with the CE marking, which is the legal requirement for safe toys. We recommend using the bean bags under parental supervision, washing them according to the instructions, and checking them regularly for defects. This way, they can be played safely and endlessly! Because that's what they're meant for: having fun!
