When we designed the cards in the UNDERHÅLLA series, we had to find the exact right size and style of the letters and numbers, so they are easy to understand and recognize, no matter age or where you live. When we asked Kristiina Kumpulainen for advice, she suggested adding cards with familiar symbols like houses and hearts. “That way, the cards also have a meaning for smaller children who don’t know the letters yet. Children are inventive, and it is good if things they play with are not too limited but can be used in different ways.”

UNDERHÅLLA
005.066.84With these 40 blocks in solid wood, your child can learn different shapes and colours in a fun and inspiring way. How many different constructions can your little engineer build (and tear down)?
More information
Building is about size, shape, gravity and balance – and as your child grows and learns more and more, both the constructions and playtimes with the durable wooden blocks will get more and more advanced.
A house or garage for LILLABO tow truck? Playing with blocks helps your child develop fine motor skills, logical thinking and imagination.
The blocks are adapted for children 18 months or older. They are lightweight, 3 cm wide – for a good grip – and have rounded corners. They are also thoroughly tested, so you can trust that they are safe.
Part of the UNDERHÅLLA series – educational and classic toys that help children learn the alphabet, the clock, counting and the connection between shapes and balance.

Ratings and reviews
Unremovable sticker applied to one blockDannyBlocks are great. IKEA being IKEA forces you to throw out one of the blocks if you try to remove their useless “warning” sticker. The sticker goop cannot be removed by anything I’ve tried (alcohol based remover, petroleum based remover or otherwise)
Great setMeganGreat set for a good price. Great first birthday gift
Quality and Just Right AmountJudithI purchased 6 boxes of these high quality, brightly painted wooden blocks. It is an excellent choice as there are just the right number of blocks for a toddler or small child to enjoy. My purchase will go towards being put in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes' yearly project and the box the blocks come in fits nicely into the shoeboxes for third world countries' children to have fun with. Great price too.

Story
Playful learning
Playing is above all, fun, but the clever thing is that it is also an essential part of the child’s development. We created UNDERHÅLLA to stimulate playing and learning in a fun and inspiring way. The series has pedagogical wooden toys, cards with letters and numbers – things that can play an important part in a more and more digital world.
“Yes, it’s important that children have opportunities to play and learn with different toys and games, both traditional and digital ones. It means diversity and freedom for children,” Kristiina Kumpulainen explains. She is a Professor of Education and Scientific Director of the Playful Learning Center at the University of Helsinki. Her research focuses on children’s learning and how design affects their learning ability.
Cards for all ages
Play gives skills
Cards, abacus, clock and building blocks – all parts of the UNDERHÅLLA series are made to attract to play. ”We know from research that children play for the sake of it, but while playing, they practice social, emotional, and cognitive skills and regulate emotions. Voluntary play is a healthy and rich way for learning and well-being”, Kristiina says. And there is a special freedom with analogue games and toys. Children can play with them anywhere and anytime since no electricity or internet is needed. That’s pretty handy, isn’t it?
Material
What is solid wood?
Solid wood is one of our favourite materials and is part of our Scandinavian heritage. It is also a timeless material with many uses. Regardless of the wood species, it is durable, beautiful and renewable. We strive to use this raw material as smartly and efficiently as possible to avoid waste – and we also invest in facilities and logistics so that we can increase the use of recycled wood.
