Even if a newborn cannot speak yet, our soft toys for babies are sure to elicit the occasional “oooh”. No wonder, with all those beautiful colours and shapes. At IKEA, you will find adorable soft toys for babies that will delight children in the form of bunnies or fun objects.

Sleep toys for babies and other lovely ideas for your child

Babies sleep an average of 16 to 18 hours a day. So how about we help make that time a bit sweeter for your baby? Not just with wonderfully cuddly sleep toys, but also with many other safe pieces of furniture and accessories for the nursery. Our baby cots and cot mattresses, for example, are rigorously tested to provide a safe, supportive sleep space for your baby. Activity toys, canopies and skin‑friendly fitted sheets create cosy retreats for your child. Curtains at the windows and soft nursery rugs that muffle parents’ footsteps create a snug atmosphere and reduce disturbances such as bright light or loud noises.
