Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tiny Toss filled with?
Tiny Toss sandbags are filled with Australian sourced prewashed play sand.
Before it goes inside your Tiny Toss, the sand is baked, sifted and carefully prepared by hand.
The sand is sealed securely inside each sandbag before it's finished with its outer fabric.
What age are Tiny Toss suitable for?
Tiny Toss sandbags are designed for children aged 3 years and over.
They’re made for open-ended, active and sensory play and should always be used with adult supervision.
Tiny Toss sandbags are not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
Can Tiny Toss be washed?
Yes! For everyday marks, we recommend spot cleaning first with a damp cloth and allowing your Tiny Toss to dry completely.
When they need a deeper clean, place them inside a delicates bag and machine wash on a cold gentle cycle.
Allow them to dry completely in the sun before storing or playing with them again.
Please note, as Tiny Toss are handmade, slight shrinkage may occur after washing. The recycled paper tag may also change in appearance and texture when washed. These changes are completely normal and do not affect the use of your Tiny Toss.
Please do not tumble dry.
What size are Tiny Toss and how heavy are they?
Each Tiny Toss is approximately 10x10cm and is filled with approximately 210g of sand, weighing around 220–225g in total.
The size and weight has been intentionally chosen as part of the way they’re designed for play.
Rather than being super lightweight, Tiny Toss gives little hands something substantial to grasp, carry, toss, balance, stack and move.
The added weight creates natural resistance during play, encouraging children to use their hands, arms and whole body as they explore different ways to play.
That extra resistance can also bring elements of heavy work into everyday play, through simple actions like carrying, collecting, loading, moving and tossing.
It gives Tiny Toss that satisfying, grounded feel that makes them so versatile. From target games and obstacle courses to balancing challenges, imaginative play and purposeful movement.
Every Tiny Toss is filled and finished by hand, so slight variations in weight are completely normal.
How are Tiny Toss made
Every Tiny Toss is handmade by me in small batches, with care going into every step.
From choosing and preparing the fabrics, to preparing the sand, sewing and finishing each piece by hand.
Each one is sewn for strength, with the sand sealed securely inside, before being carefully stitched closed by hand.
They’re made slowly and intentionally, because I want them to be something that can handle all the tossing, carrying, balancing, building and playing little hands can think of.
And because each one is handmade rather than mass produced, you may notice small variations from one Tiny Toss to another. That’s part of what makes each one uniquely yours. 💛
