Make your own set of baby play gym toys with this no-sew amigurumi fish pattern.
Inspired by Montessori principles, these playful fish are designed to gently introduce babies (from around 7 weeks) to primary colors – red, blue, and yellow – in a calm, sensory-friendly way.

The pattern includes two style options:

• Solid color fish with subtle embroidered dashes for a minimalist look,
• Striped fish for a more playful, colorful twist.

Each fish can be filled with fiberfill alone or combined with crinkle material to create a gentle, satisfying sound when squeezed. It’s a fun sensory element that encourages exploration without overwhelming baby ears.
