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.

good valueMayEasy to set up, fun colours, feels solid and of good quality.
Great toyBruceThis is one of the very few toys, my almost 3 year old, will sit and play with for more than 5 minutes at a time. We need more toys like this, without batteries and flashing lights.
poor update to what was an excellent toy RosellinaBring back the old version of this toy with wooden pegs. the plastic pegs are such a tight fit it it is hard for an adult to hammer down let alone an infant. also preferred when it was all wood. do not recommend this toy.

ExcellentNishtaExcellent
Great findNatalieThis was incredibly easy to assemble and has produced so much self confidence, gross motor play and enjoyment since it entered my early learning environment. Made from durable material I am sure it will bring many more endless hours of play.
Great toyShazWell made and fun
GreatShirleyNice toy. The pegs are tight so lots of hammering - I’ve had ones before where pegs are loose, so it’s not much fun. This one is great.

Story
Play – both fun and necessary
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. Our baby toys for this age group are always non-toxic and carefully tested so that your child can play with them safely.
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.
