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.”

Great quality!MichelleThe IKEA toys tend to be great quality for the price and this one in particular is often used in my gift baskets for raffles benefiting dogs. The dogs absolutely love all of these legs that flap around and hit them when they shake the toy!
This made for a great gift! Definitely better than expected!KristianThe toy was the perfect size and the arms move freely just like I was looking for.

I love it!SusanBig enough to hug, My granddaughter loves it! I saw it and wanted it as I entered the store - appealing and cute!
Te sweetest thingMichelleBefore we left the store he had a name, by the time we got home he had an attitude! 😂 Octavian is a sassy yellow Octopus who enjoys cuddles and hugs. With all those extra arms, he was built for it… or so I’m told.
Great for a pillowBretLove it, came back to see if they still had some in stock, I’m 44 and travel and this thing is the best neck pillow ever. Good in car or on a flight, versatile with different arms and legs and you can kind of sit it on your shoulder, with a tentacle around your neck and it hangs and and gives you a great soft head rest.
Love the detailsKathrynCheck out the arms and the hoods on the eyes. Fun color.

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

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."
