IGLU Baby Gym Soft Play Set – 7 Foam Blocks, Earth Pastel

The first climbing frame is the one on your living-room floor. Seven soft foam shapes, low enough for a baby who has just started to roll, interesting enough for a five-year-old building an obstacle course.

It starts as somewhere to lie, reach and push against. Then somewhere to pull up. Then a step, a ramp, a tunnel, a fort wall. You do not buy a new one at each stage — you rearrange the one you have.

What your child is practising

• Tummy time that lasts longer — a soft wedge makes lifting the head less work.
• Rolling, crawling and pulling up — low, stable shapes to push against and haul up on.
• Balance and coordination — every climb is a small problem solved with the whole body.
• Spatial thinking — what fits where, what holds, what topples.
• Movement instead of screens — indoors, in any weather.

Grows with your child

From around six months it is a soft landing and a something-to-reach-for. At one, it is what gets pulled up on. At three, it is a den. At five, it is a course to be timed and beaten. Seven pieces, roughly five years of use — and after that, seating and a soft landing at the foot of the sofa.

Made to survive childhood

• Firm, ultra-light foam with a closed-cell structure that keeps its shape year after year.
• Eco-leather cover — tough, soft to the touch and tested for harmful substances.
• Wipes clean with a damp cloth. Yoghurt, felt-tip, muddy socks — all fine.
• Handmade in Northern Europe, from the sewing to the packing.
• 100% recyclable foam and CE marked to EU toy safety requirements, with safety certification in the EU, UK, USA and Canada.

Suitable from around six months to five years. This set comes in warm earth tones — sand, clay and muted terracotta that sit quietly in a living room instead of shouting across it.
