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.”

StunningAnonymous reviewerI brought these for my 2 year old twin nephews , so soft washable and had size. They love them.
Sea CreaturesAnonymous reviewerGreat selection of sea creatures I use them in story telling
Very cute. Nice size for little hands Anonymous reviewerSoft and squidgy, child safe and had great fun playing with them
Shocked!Anonymous reviewerMy son stories and thought they would be excellent for his cat who loves to play with them. He was totally shocked to find the price. They are very well-made, but do they warrant such a high price?
Fabulous sea creaturesAnonymous reviewerMy grandson loves playing with these and making up stories.
Cute sea animalsAnonymous reviewerLovely set of little sea animals. Very small but very cute!
Tiny teddies Anonymous reviewerI was stunned at how tiny the set is! There was silence when I opened up the package then laughter! They are now sitting on top of books in my bookcase
Ocean going mascotsAnonymous reviewerSuper cute mascots for our boat.
Kids loved themAnonymous reviewerBit on the pricey side, as my kids picked them up there was no price which I think was a sneaky way to sell them 😆 but my kids love them so that's all that matters.
CuteAnonymous reviewerSo cute plush.
Good selection of little toysAnonymous reviewerGood selection of toys- cheaper than the larger toy but just as fun for children
Much smaller than expected Anonymous reviewerBought the sea creatures online and got a shock when they arrived and I saw how small they were. My first concern because of their size is safety. I bought the set for my granddaughter's first birthday as we are visiting Sea Life so she can spot the creatures. Just worried some of their sewn together parts could be chewed off by an over zealous toddler. Will ensure she's supervised and not left alone with these which I guess is same for all toys. Not very good value though, for the price.

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.
Quality
Sure, they’re cute but are they safe? Absolutely!
You can rest assured knowing that all our children’s products live up to the highest health and safety standards. We put our toys to the test – up against the toughest in the world (much tougher than any two-year-old). All so you can worry less and they can play more.

Designer thoughts
"We’re all dependent on clean and vibrant oceans full of life. That’s why our work with the BLÅVINGAD collection felt extra important. When choosing the animals to focus on, we began by studying their appearances and expressions. Using sketches, we then decided what could work as a pattern, a soft toy or a print on a cushion. We hope that the playful products create a feeling of being surrounded by the ocean and spark curiousness about all that lives below the surface."
