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.”

Product details
The colourful underwater world is just as enchanting on the outside as on the inside since the tent's recycled polyester material is transparent.
The bed tent is open on the short sides, but absorbs bright sunlight and light from surrounding lamps.
Attaching the bed tent to the bed is quick and easy, but maybe not done right before bedtime.
The tent is easy-care – you just wipe off dust and stains with a damp cloth.
Fits the bed both in a low and a high position.
The fabric is made of recycled polyester. Using waste as a resource takes us one step closer to a more sustainable future.

Cosy and delightful. Anonymous reviewerMy 3 year old is obsessed with his new room.
The bed tent is gorgeous, he feels like he is really under the sea and names all the sea creatures every night before going to sleep.
It provides that extra darkness and cosiness needed to ensure my toddler falls asleep happily. Best thing I have bought. The whole collection is brilliant.

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.
