But what is it about the oceans that fascinates and engages children worldwide – even children that live hundreds of miles 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 whale of a good timeSThis whale has been on my kiddos wish list for quite some time. They saw it, asked for it, and they were told the ways they could earn it. Months later, still excited for it, we were able to make the trip to IKEA (45 rural minutes one way). This whale is now the star of its own show, literally. Not only is it constructed well, the zipper is smooth, doesn't catch easily even when overstuffed, but is the source for a great amount of inspiration. Stay tuned for YT whaling adventures 😊
Granddaughter lovesDeniseGranddaughter loves the size, great for snuggling. She also likes that the mouth zippers shut and she can store her stuff in it
excellentLeslienice density, nice size. And i can store things in her mouth! what more do i need?
We'll never lose the remote again.ElizaZippered maw is perfect for stashing remotes and/or phones from tiny hands without losing in the couch cushions.
Giant whale!Cindyloves that he has a zippered mouth for playing.
Soft and cuddlyJoyThis stuff animal is big and soft. My grandson's will love them and be able to cuddly them while they are sleeping.
Good quality. ConniePrice is on the higher side but it’s worth it. Color is bright. Size is big. Has a zipper for the mouth. So soft and cuddly. My kids love it.
Double the funRachelThis whale is SO soft and snuggly. Love the added feature of “storage” in the mouth, my kids love hiding things and having me guess what’s in there.
Toys Anonymous reviewerVery nice and extra good zipper pocket

The huggiest whale that ever lived!PedroPerfectly huggable whale! I love it for cuddles on the couch. I showed it to all my friends and everyone loves it. My friend wants one but in pink! I'd love it in different colors too.
Whale plush with zipperReneeMy son, who is 12 and has autism, absolutely loves this stuffed animal. It is cute, well made and a perfect friend for my son.
Great whale but needs improvement LiyaKids loved their new whale. But, it’s quite understandable that they wanted to grab it by it’s tail. Well, this made the stuffing move and now between the tail and the body there’s an area with just material, which made the tail limp. Would have been nice for this to not be the case.
cute and very useful 😁Wooi hide my bl mangas in here

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.
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.

"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."
