The Soft Play Revolution

Jul 29, 2025

If you’ve ever wished your living room could transform into a toddler-friendly, screen-free, energy-busting playground—without sacrificing style or safety—you’re not alone. Every parent wants their child to play, grow, and learn in a way that’s safe, enriching, and fun. But finding the right tools that support physical and cognitive development (and don’t drive you mad with noise or clutter) can be a tall order.

That’s exactly where IGLU Soft Play steps in—a brand dedicated to elevating playtime with expertly designed, beautifully crafted soft play equipment for babies, toddlers, and young children. IGLU’s products are more than just fun: they’re an investment in early development, imaginative exploration, and stress-free parenting.

Created with input from child development specialists and praised by paediatric chiropractors, IGLU Soft Play sets deliver an ideal mix of active play, creativity, and educational value—right from the comfort of your home.

Let’s explore the magic behind three of IGLU’s most beloved soft play sets and discover why parents across the UK are adding them to their must-have list.

1. Soft Play Set – IGLU House

Meet the playhouse of dreams—soft, stylish, and built to spark imagination. The IGLU House isn’t your average soft play set. This cleverly constructed collection of shapes and structures is designed to support your child’s physical and mental development while offering a safe space to climb, build, and create their own little world.

Perfectly padded and covered in wipe-clean, non-toxic materials, the IGLU House set allows kids to explore freely without the usual bumps and bruises. From building secret dens to staging teddy bear picnics, children can transform each modular piece into something new every day. And while they’re having the time of their lives, they’re also boosting creativity, improving motor skills, and learning spatial awareness.

What’s more, the IGLU House is praised by healthcare professionals like a paediatric brain development chiropractor, who highlights how these products support crucial developmental milestones. Whether it’s rolling, climbing, balancing or simply letting off steam, this set offers endless opportunities for imaginative and purposeful play.

And let’s not forget—it's the perfect screen-free activity that engages children naturally, encouraging collaboration and communication when friends or siblings are involved. This isn’t just soft play—it’s soft play redefined for real-life parenting.

2. Soft Play Party Set

If you're hosting a birthday bash, setting up a playdate, or just want to keep multiple little ones entertained without chaos, the IGLU Soft Play Party Set is the solution. This larger set is designed with group play in mind and offers all the benefits of the IGLU House—but on a bigger scale.

Featuring a variety of soft shapes that can be climbed on, arranged, and knocked down (safely!), the Party Set is brilliant for encouraging physical activity and social development. Kids can build towers, tunnels, obstacle courses and more—working together, sharing ideas, and learning the fundamentals of teamwork along the way.

Parents love how this set helps to release excess energy in a safe, structured way—ideal for indoor or outdoor use. It’s also easy to clean and made from BPA- and phthalate-free materials, which means it’s as safe as it is fun. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a sunny garden party, this set transforms any space into an adventure zone.

Plus, it offers a practical alternative to noisy toys or screen time. And in a world where children’s attention is constantly being pulled toward tablets and TV, the Soft Play Party Set offers the chance to reintroduce play that truly matters.

3. Soft Play Activity Set – Discoverer

For curious minds and little explorers, the IGLU Discoverer Set delivers a perfect blend of adventure and education. This activity-focused set is designed to stimulate the senses, build coordination, and support language development—all through joyful, movement-based play.

What sets the Discoverer apart is its emphasis on active learning. While children navigate ramps, crawl through tunnels, and experiment with shapes, they’re also developing problem-solving skills, improving balance, and boosting memory. The layout encourages open-ended play, allowing children to use their imagination to construct obstacle courses or pretend scenarios.

Each piece is robust enough to handle serious toddler energy but soft enough to ensure safety. And with the same non-toxic, easy-to-clean materials used across all IGLU products, you won’t have to worry about spills or mess. It’s responsibly made, durable, and designed for long-term use—even in busy nurseries, playrooms, or therapy settings.

Not only is it fun, it’s highly recommended by child development professionals. Dr. Stefanie, whose endorsement speaks volumes, notes how each IGLU piece aligns with activities proven to aid brain development, sensory stimulation, and stress regulation.

All three playsets—IGLU House, Party Set, and Discoverer—share core benefits that make them standout investments for growing families.
