In Norwegian they're simply called "pea bags" (erteposer), as they're filled with (dried) peas.

I did, however, make mine double in the sense that I made the actual "pea bags" from plain canvas and then made covers from various patterned fabrics - experience from my own childhood has taught me that these toys seldom stay clean for long, thus I want to be able to wash the covers.
And finally a picture of a happy girl holding one of her new toys:
