But what is it about the oceans that fascinates and engages children worldwide – even children that live hundreds of kilometres from the coast? “The deep seas and their inhabitants have always been part of myths and stories that we tell each other,” says Barbie. “It’s a world of its own under the surface, something mysterious and exciting that brings the imagination to life.”

Good to know
Batteries are sold separately; 2 pcs AA required.
IKEA recommends LADDA rechargeable batteries.
The soft light creates a non-glare light in the dark and means that the battery time lasts much longer.
The light source has a lifetime of approx. 25,000 hours. This corresponds to about 20 years if the lamp is on for 3 hours per day.
The built-in timer turns the lamp off after 15 minutes.

So CuteBarbaraGreat Stuffy for my grandson.
Perfect night lightRobynSoft and very sweet little octopus - easy to turn the subdued light on and off or just remove the light for a squishy cuddle.
Daughter loves itAmandaMy daughter loves this to help her feel cozy and safe at night, and it's quite dim & doesn't stay on all night which is nice. My only issue is that the light does not stay centered, there is too much padding on one side that I can't move.
AdorableAnonymous reviewerMy son loves his octopus.

Cute Soft LampJanicePerfect addition to a bedroom, nice soft plush or a perfect little lamp. The light it not super bright so it's perfect for a dark room.
Cute but smallMoniqueWe bought this for our baby's room and, while it is adorable, I do wish it was larger. I was hoping it would be the same size as the stuffed octopus that doesn't light up. That being said, I'd buy it again!
Super cute product!Anonymous reviewerSuper cute product!

Is it possible to make plastic hug-friendly?
We want to reduce the amount of new material in our soft toys. Using recycled polyester as filling, and thereby giving new life to used plastic, is one way. That’s why we’ve embarked on an exciting journey with our new range of soft toys. Our goal is to fill as many soft toys as possible with recycled polyester – without compromising on safety or quality.
Story
Dive down into a world of wonders
Surfing dolphins, curious turtles and playful octopuses. The big deep sea is an enchanted world that triggers the imagination. It inspired us to create the BLÅVINGAD collection. Working with the project, we also realized that many children are worried about the oceans and their inhabitants.
“Children are engaged and well-informed about the pollution of the world’s oceans and how it affects the animals that live there. They want to do something about it and encourage us, adults, to do the same,” says child psychologist Dr Barbie Clarke. She regularly participates in the work with our Kid’s Advisory Panel, where we interview children in different countries about their opinions on various topics.
Mysteries below the surface
Discover the world
Stories, games and movies about life in the deep sea give children access to a world that is different from their own everyday life. “When children are between 3 and 6 years old, they fantasize the most, and when they get a bit older, they want to learn facts and understand how the oceans work,” says Barbie. She adds that when children are absorbed by something, it’s more than a game; they forget their worries, explore the world and broaden their horizons – just like a giant blue whale that floats off to explore the sea.
