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.”

A most excellent Octopus friend.Anonymous reviewerA most excellent Octopus friend, indeed. Seldom can you these days find such a brilliant and wonderous companion as this. 5* 10/10 I heartily recommend this to everyone.
Yellow octopusAnonymous reviewerI had seen this toy in IKEA a while ago but my grandson already had one. Lucky me, I have a new grandchild on the way so I had an excuse to buy one! It’s not suitable for newborn but will go with the seascape themed nursery.
LOVEAnonymous reviewerI've just got him as a present from a loved one to cheer me up since I'm ill. He smells lovely and new, sent directly to my door. I'm in love, so over the moon, a lovely surprise. My Friend knew I was eyeing him up in store when we went together a month ago but had no money left and now I can't believe I own him. He is so soft smells lovely and new and the colour is everything. This is a top seller because it so deserves to be. Adore him or her. Yet to choose name. Design, colour, different, every thing. Buy one because you'll be gutted and jealous if you don't and they've gone and you see one else where and don't own one yourself. Can't believe it, never be thankful enough to such a generous friend. I don't think I'll be ever able to repay her but I'll try my best! Enjoy, just enjoy! He's highly rated for a reason. More than five stars, price is fair for quality, detail, size and design I think. And so so so soft.
Gorgeous!Anonymous reviewerSo bright and beautiful! I love it
Grandson lives it!Anonymous reviewerMy teenage grandson absolutely loves this and I must admit he nearly didn't get it!!
GreatAnonymous reviewerGood quality, big, cuddly, soft toy. My daughter is very happy.
Not an average dog toy for not an average dog!Anonymous reviewerLola already has an extensive and not always justifiably extensive collection of ‘friends’, many of them the finest folk from the JellyCat stable. This was a perfect complement not least for an aquatic friend for Lobby Lobster from New York. She was soon being befriended by Lola, with Sushi the Octopus taking her first ride on the back of a gentle Galgo. She is able to offer hugs at the same time, and keep a loving eye on all happenings through the night and day. She has recently take on the responsibility of guarding the cage cave where Lola sleeps.

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.
Function solution
Soft toys to hug, again and again
We know our soft toys should handle many years of love. That’s why we’ve chosen comfy materials, embroidered eyes, performed rigorous washing tests – and ensured that we test them for harmful chemicals. Simple to keep clean and fresh since they can be machined washed.
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.
