Toys & play

Toys will be toys

Children like to play all day with all kinds of toys. At IKEA, you'll find a wide range of excellent toys for toddlers, preschoolers and bigger kids. Whether you're looking for a new soft toy, wooden toys or coloured pencils. For children who love to read we have a large selection of children's books. Does your child love theatre and musicals? Then they'll love our role play and dressing up clothes.

Children's storage

Of course, all those toys and accessories have to be put away. Use our children's storage. And with all those toys in the children's room, it's important that the room is safe. Accidents happen, especially with little urchins running around. Check out our safety products specially for children here. Your children and their friends can play without a care in the world.

Why are toys essential for child development?

Toys are the building blocks of your child's future. Engaging with toys sparks creativity and imagination, paving the way for cognitive and social skills. For toddlers, toys are more than mere amusement—they are tools that help them understand the world. Toddler toys designed for this age group focus on fine motor skill development and sensory exploration. Bright colours, interesting textures, and sounds stimulate their senses, while building blocks challenge their problem-solving skills. 

What should I look for in children's toys?

When selecting children's toys, consider their educational value and how they align with your child's interests. Toys should be age-appropriate, safe, and durable. For younger children, look for toys that encourage interaction and physical play. As children grow, their toys should evolve with them. Older children benefit from more complex toys, such as various games or building blocks that foster creativity, strategic thinking and cooperation.
