The DIY Bean Bag Colour Set contains everything you need to sew a coordinated collection of Montessori-inspired sensory bean bags for babies from approximately 3 months onwards and toddlers. Available in three carefully curated colour collections—Lavender, Woodland, and Sunset Beach—each kit includes five textured fabrics in a harmonious colour palette, together with printable instructions and two template sizes, supporting tactile exploration, fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, and open-ended play.
Watching a child return to the same simple toy again and again is one of the quiet joys of parenthood. These sensory bean bags invite touching, squeezing, sorting, carrying, and discovering through a variety of textures, while the carefully coordinated colour palettes create a calm and beautiful addition to your child’s play space.
Whether you choose the Lavender, Woodland, or Sunset Beach collection, each set combines different tactile experiences with colours that work beautifully together. You can create a sensory material that’s enjoyable to make, lovely to look at, and designed to grow alongside your child.
