Colorful Amigurumi Fish – Pattern

Colorful Amigurumi Fish – Montessori-Inspired Baby Play Gym Toys

Make your own set of vibrant 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. Prefer a quieter toy? No problem – skip the crinkle and keep it soft and silent.

Perfect for DIY baby shower gifts, nursery mobiles, or your own little one’s play gym.
