Henrik has designed toys for more than 20 years – to him, children’s play is something to take very seriously. “Play is a way for the child to discover its surroundings. To us adults, it’s often important to do things the right way, like stacking blocks in a certain order. But to the child, it isn’t always the result that counts, but the exploration of how the blocks can be stacked.” The toy hammering block is a classic toy for curious little hands. “Apart from the fact that it’s fun to bang on the plugs, it’s exciting to see what happens if you use more strength. At the same time, the child trains its eye-hand coordination.

18 month old lovesDedeMy 18 month old loves this toy and I’m sure yours will too!
Poor quality and horrible makeVanessaMy 2 year old niece busted her head open on the corner of it and there was blood everywhere she had to go to the hospital in the ER it was really bad I 100000% do NOT recommend this is a horrible product and you don't want your children getting hurt on it either.
Great toy AmandaEasy to assemble and works great. It keeps my almost 2 year old entertained.
For my nephew EllenHe loves it. It keeps him busy.
Fun toyDanielI had something similar to this for my kids and now my grandkids. It works as you’d think. I’m just surprised the pegs are plastic and not wooden (isn’t everything at IKEA made of wood? 😃).
Great quality InnaGreat and funny!
Great Products LeoThis is an awesome Toy, it gives a great hand eye coordination. I highly recommend this
Fun and ExcitingTimWe purchased this product for our grandson. He LOVES it. It is safe and the perfect size. The pegs are tight enough that they are not removed, so all pieces stay where they should. The noise is actually not bad. The materials that it is constructed of keep the sound down. He is now a professional with the hammer.
Nice product. My child enjoys itMichaelVery nice product.
Useful and Looks Cute!AlejandraMy daughter loves this toy! It definitely challenges her motor skills. It also has the added bonus of looking cute and not plastic!
Love it !TaraLove it !
Its a great toy, myJuneIts a great toy, my son loves it. I’m not sure if my 20 month old is hulkish or if the material is too soft but it does dent quite easily. The wood has marks and dents all over it from his hammering but I suppose its to be expected. I just didn’t expect it to happen from day 1.
Great product for toddlersCalebWe love this item. Our child uses it all the time and it teaches great motor skills. I honestly couldn't think of a single negative comment for this.
YES!NataleeEveryone loves this toy, from the baby all the way up to the 15 year old. It's relaxing for older kids, almost like a fidget.
Kid giftClaireI gave this to a 3-year-old who noticed it was made out of wood and like that. It's a great toy/work for little ones, great quality and a welcome change from plastics and electronics.
Great replica of an oldJoyGreat replica of an old fashioned toy. Helps with eye and hand coordination.
This was a really greatCeliaThis was a really great game to pass time! My nephew just turned 2 and he was obsessed with this toy. It was really convenient that when the pegs push down you turn the toy over and it’s ready to go again!

Story
Play – both fun and necessary
Small children are experts at learning while having fun. By playing, they practice motor skills and coordination, train logical thinking and conquer lots of new abilities. UPPSTÅ is a series of toys specially developed for that early play – and everyone who loves to feel, bang, stack and pull.
When you pull the happy hedgehog’s string, and it rolls forward, you can hear a clicking sound from its spinning round belly. “As soon as you stop, the hedgehog goes quiet. For the child, it’s an exciting confirmation that it can make the sound itself, explains designer Henrik Johansson.
Explore through play
Toys that last
Playing isn’t only a matter of motor skills and logical thinking – imagination is also important. With its characters and illustrations, the UPPSTÅ series is a tale about a forest world that you can make up stories around. “We want to inspire open and diversified play that lasts long. By choosing durable materials and colors, the UPPSTÅ toys can be around for many years.” So, in a couple of years, maybe it’s a younger sibling or friend who stacks rings and take the first steps with the toddler walker.
Function solution
Toys for small children
It varies when a child starts walking, but a toddler walker provides good support those first times when their legs are still slightly unsteady. In the second year, many children run around, climb, play hide-and-seek, throw and roll things. Whatever they do, play develops their fine and gross motor skills, logical thinking and imagination in different ways. Our baby toys for this age group are always non-toxic and carefully tested so that your child can play with them safely.
Material
What is solid wood?
Solid wood is one of our favorite materials and is part of our Scandinavian heritage. It is also a timeless material with many uses. Regardless of the tree species, it is durable, beautiful and renewable. We strive to use this raw material as smartly and efficiently as possible to avoid waste – and we also invest in facilities and logistics so that we can increase the use of recycled wood.
