Henrik has designed toys for more than 20 years – to him, children’s play is something to take very seriously. “Play is a way for the child to discover its surroundings. To us adults, it’s often important to do things the right way, like stacking blocks in a certain order. But to the child, it isn’t always the result that counts, but the exploration of how the blocks can be stacked.” The toy hammering block is a classic toy for curious little hands. “Apart from the fact that it’s fun to bang on the plugs, it’s exciting to see what happens if you use more strength. At the same time, the child trains its eye-hand coordination.

Building my grand daughters toy libraryJulieLooking for something colourful, entertaining and can be used by small hands.
GreatJessieLove it.
So versatileNataliaThis is the best toy for the price that we’ve had. It’s very versatile - you can build towers, use as cups, play in the bathtub with water running through the holes, spin the cups on the floor and so much more. Love it! My baby had it since she was 5 months old and I can see it will last us for a few years of imaginary play.
Perfect bath toyAnonymous reviewerKids love this! Had the previous colour and had to get this new colour for my 6 month old.

Great choiceKeishaI love this for my son. Wish I bought this before he turned 12 months but he's been playing with it ever since he was 15 months old. Very affordable and colourful. Even can use a ball to knock them down when your kid gets older.

Stacking blocksMichelleGreat value toy our boy loved this
Fantastic quality, multiple play options and affordableSallySuch a simple but great toy for a fantastic price. My 13 month old has been playing with this set for a few months now. I love that it's easy to clean but has grown with her playing style and needs. When she was younger, we would put these in the tub for her to play, pour and float. Then she moved on to using it hold items and is now at the stage of nesting the items inside eachother.
Cheap and fun for babiesMarijaMy 1 year old loves playing this toy.

Story
Play – both fun and neccessary
Small children are experts at learning while having fun. By playing, they practice motor skills and coordination, train logical thinking and conquer lots of new abilities. UPPSTÅ is a series of toys specially developed for that early play – and everyone who loves to feel, bang, stack and pull.
When you pull the happy hedgehog’s string, and it rolls forward, you can hear a clicking sound from its spinning round belly. “As soon as you stop, the hedgehog goes quiet. For the child, it’s an exciting confirmation that it can make the sound itself, explains designer Henrik Johansson.
Explore through play
Toys that last
Playing isn’t only a matter of motor skills and logical thinking – imagination is also important. With its characters and illustrations, the UPPSTÅ series is a tale about a forest world that you can make up stories around. “We want to inspire open and diversified play that lasts long. By choosing durable materials and colours, the UPPSTÅ toys can be around for many years.” So, in a couple of years, maybe it’s a younger sibling or friend who stacks rings and take the first steps with the toddler walker.
Function solution
Toys for small children
It varies when a child starts walking, but a toddler walker provides good support those first times when their legs are still slightly unsteady. In the second year, many children run around, climb, play hide-and-seek, throw and roll things. Whatever they do, play develops their fine and gross motor skills, logical thinking and imagination in different ways.
