While on maternity leave with her first son, Bolette Blaedel noticed that there was a lack of children’s furniture that incorporated four important components: play, creativity, physical exercise, and good, Danish design. With help from her fashion designer sister, Louise Blaedel, the company bObles dk and a series of bObles Tumbling Animals were born. Tumbling Animals are multifunctional furniture pieces that your kids will adore, and you won’t mind sharing your living space with these vibrant, entertaining creatures.

Tumbling Animals are a group of colorful animals, each with its own shape and function. For example, the crocodiles shown in the above image can be used to mimic a staircase, but when turned upside down, you get an angled surface. When the crocodile is placed on his back, your child can experience a seesaw function. Each crocodile has three seating levels for small children, and they are long enough for kids to sit together atop them, for a cool social situation. As another example, the elephant tumbling toy may be used as a chair, for riding, or may be turned into a boat, table, or rocking footstool.

Benefits of bObles Tumbling Animals:

  • Striking design objects in bright color and geometric shapes that inspire kids to learn and create.
  • Help little ones to develop motor function and gain understanding of their own body as they tumble, roll, balance, seesaw, rock, and jump.
  • Tumbling Animals are multifunctional. Pieces can be used for sitting on and reading or relaxing, as a table, or even to create an entire obstacle course of colorful, non-toxic fun for your little one.
  • The Tumbling Animals are  made of firm EVA foam with a soft surface and are free of any toxin or phthalates.
  • Very easy to clean with a plain, wet cloth or even by popping them in the shower.
  • Perfect quiet time toy – the foam makes no noise and won’t damage flooring or furniture.
  • Tots can use the Tumbling Animals from ages 6 months and up, and the animals support up to 350 lbs.

Details on shopping for bObles Tumbling Animals:

bObles are available in many varieties including fish, elephants, crocodiles, chickens, giraffes, worms, snake tables and more. Sets and colors vary. Cost of bObles Tumbling Animals range from under $50 for a bObles chicken or fish to around $100+ for an elephant or crocodile. You may find bObles Tumbling Animals at many retailers around the world. Two good online venues that carry full lines of bObles Tumbling Animals include Babygeared and Mini Jake.

    My toddler would love this toy – she’s very active and fearless! I would love it because they look cute and modern!

    My 3year old autistic daughter would love this product. She is very sensory stimulated and is always rolling around on pillows or the foot stools we have in our home. She unfortunately cannot speak to tell me what she wants, but I get ideas by the way she smiles and rolls around on the furniture!

    This would be perfect for my son’s eco friendly Elephant themed nursery! He has elephants on the wall and stuffed elephants to play with-now he just needs one to play on! What a cool toy!

    I think my nephew would love this toy! He is really into climbing on things and rocking chairs… This would serve as both. He is a very adventurous and curious 16 month old and I would like to get him a toy that will keep his interest. I just got custody of his a few months ago so we are slowly trying to get things for him to feel like he is home. He would love the elephant and I’m sure it would become his new best friend!

    I was going to say how I would like this toy for my very active three year old grandson, but then I read the post about the autistic daughter of Lisasik 33 and thought what a great toy for such a child. she should have it.

    After searching online for the perfect Christmas present for my 18 month old, I came across the Boble line. I am so excited to get her the elephant and I am thinking of getting more animals as well so she can set up her own obstacle course. What a wonderful eco-friendly product!
