“Studies have shown that movement enhances the mental well-being and is positive for certain cognitive functions. Furthermore, the amount of physical activity we get as children also affects our habits and health later in life. So, what is the right amount of movement? The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children between ages 5 and 17 should do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day. In addition, a couple of times a week, it’s good to do more high-intensity training that increases the heart rate for a longer period of time.

BallKristelI love it because my children can play in the house without hurting themselves
Great toy from once they sit up until they are playing soccerJenniferMy 6 year old grandson and I have used this ball since he could sit up and roll it back and forth. It's great to play indoor soccer, too. I bought this one for my grandnephew so he can enjoy years of play, too.
Kid obsessedKiaraMy kid LOVES this stuffed ball. I love that when it hits the ground it's quiet. This ball is stuffed generously but still lightweight. The size is maybe half that of a standard soccer ball. I don't regret buying it lol.
Soft and useableTiffanyMy son just loves kicking it around, tossing it and hugging it. What a fun treasured gift for anyone who loves soccer or playing with balls. It’s gentle for indoor play. He kicked it around the store and it still stayed white. Must be a good fabric.
Ordered and never received my item in the order.TaraDisappointed that I ordered this soccer ball for my toddler and I never received it in my order.
Kids love it for indoor playAmyWe use this to play indoors. Since it’s soft, no worry about breaking things in the house. If using for outdoor, will get dirty as it’s made of fabric. Spot clean with wet towel worked for a stain.
PlaytimeErinI buy these for my dogs. They are so soft which means they are safer to play with in the house and keep the boys engaged, especially on rainy days.
GreatJenniferLight, soft, and great for indoors
Safe to play indoorsClaudiaEvery time my kids play I’m worried they might break something with the soccer ball, this soccer ball works too and is fun to play safe.

Best Dog ToySarahMy pup loves this plush soccer ball. Perfect for play in the house.
Quality changed LauraI would have liked this if I didn’t know what it was before. I’ve purchased a few of these balls over the years and they were always so soft and cute and colorful and comfortable. The new black-and-white one is made from a cheaper fabric, definitely not as nice
Everyday fun for us!AudreyOur kids use it almost everyday ! This ball is a fun way to play safely indoors on cold winter days in our hallway.

Story
Pep for more movement
At Children’s IKEA, we want to inspire to an active everyday – with more room for jumping, running, fun and games. Because the fact is, studies show that physical activity both plays a big role in children’s well-being and is an investment in the future.
Maria Ekblom, Associate Professor at Swedish School of Sports and Health Sciences, researches how physical activity affects children. “We know for sure that the right amount of movement has a positive effect on children’s physical condition, muscle strength, cardiovascular health as well as blood pressure and blood sugar.”
The whole body likes to move
Find the pulse in the everyday life
Maria has tips on how to find the time and energy for regular exercise in everyday life. “If it’s possible, walking or riding a bike to and from school is a great opportunity for everyday exercise. Just like meeting friends and playing outside in a safe environment.” Younger children often have a natural appetite for physical activity, but they might need some encouragement to get going when they get older, says Maria. “I think it’s important to give children the opportunity to do sports or other activities that are age-appropriate and match their interests. Then, if they really like what they’re doing, it’s easier to make it a good habit that lasts.”

Is it possible to make plastic hug-friendly?
We want to reduce the amount of new material in our soft toys. Using recycled polyester as filling, and thereby giving new life to used plastic, is one way. That’s why we have embarked on an exciting journey with our new range of soft toys. Our goal is to fill as many soft toys as possible with recycled polyester – without compromising on safety or quality.
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.
