Why are rainbow bean bags so popular?

Regardless of age, interest, or gender, every child plays with sensory bean bags in their own way. The toys adapt to your child, allowing them to play with them at every stage of life, but always in a different way.

A baby plays with the sensory bean bags by shaking and rattling them, touching them, or even sucking on them.

A toddler will put the beanbags in baskets and then take them out again. This can be repeated endlessly. They also like to put things in order and will therefore make neat rows with beanbags.

Frequently asked questions about the bean bags

Can you wash the bean bags?

Absolutely. Even though they're filled with natural materials, they're washable. Hand wash them in soapy water. Rinse well (don't soak!) and let them dry flat for 48 hours. Then they're ready for endless fun!

What do you fill the bean bags with?

We fill our seed bags with cherry stones, grape seeds, and a mix of these. If you buy a set of 6 seed bags , you'll get two of each filling.

What age are the bean bags suitable for?

The bean bags are for children aged 0.5 to 9+ years. Caution! Use only under supervision for children under 3 years old and check them regularly for any signs of damage.

Do you use recycled fabrics?

No, we don't do that for two reasons. I don't know the origin of the fabric, so I can't determine whether chemicals were used during the production process. Secondly, the supply of recycled fabrics is limited, which means my collection is constantly changing and we have to constantly retake product photos. That's why I choose to use safe fabrics that are certified and available in larger quantities.

Can you reheat the bean bags?

No, these bean bags have been tested as toys and therefore do not pass any other tests than those required for a heating bean bag. Furthermore, the bean bags are stitched shut with gold thread. This thread contains a metal wire that is not suitable for the microwave.

If you do want to warm up the beanbags for a playtime, place them on a different heat source, such as a radiator or hot water bottle. Always supervise and check the temperature before giving them to your child.

How sustainable is the production process?

We make the bean bags in the Netherlands, in Rosmalen and the surrounding area to be precise. This eliminates unnecessary transport.

We source our materials as locally as possible, such as from Dutch fabric wholesalers. Our cherry pits come from the Netherlands and our grape seeds from Germany. This reduces CO2 emissions during our production process.

All fabrics are OEKO-tex certified. The wicks are cleaned without chemicals.

Your beanbags come with a card with game ideas. This is printed on paper made from agricultural waste. And we package each package plastic-free.

When we say that we produce sustainably, it is not a marketing trick, but our vision.

Can my baby play with the bean bags?

Officially, the toy is for children aged 3 and up due to the small seeds inside the beanbag. They are securely stitched shut, but it's always possible for a beanbag to become damaged and open. Therefore, always play together with children under 3 years old and never leave your child unattended with the beanbags.

Do the bean bags have a CE marking?

Yes, it's even illegal to sell toys without CE marking. Therefore, never buy beanbags from someone who makes them as a hobby.

The Little Botanic bean bags are CE marked and tested according to European NEN standards.
