IGLU Wedge Soft Play Block – Blue Wedge Block 40 x 40 x 20 cm

IGLU Wedge Soft Play Block Blue – Soft wedge block for crawling and discovery

With the IGLU Wedge Soft Play Block in Blue, you add a gentle change in height to young children's daily floor play. The sloped surface rises gradually, inviting children to crawl over it, discover different heights, and figure out for themselves how hands and knees work together while moving.

With its compact size of 40 x 40 x 20 cm, the Wedge fits easily into a nursery, playroom, or other play area. Use the block on its own as a small movement challenge or combine it with other IGLU soft-play shapes to build a route that can be rearranged again and again.

Moving over the slope offers children opportunities to practice coordination and weight shifting through play. Furthermore, when several soft shapes are used together, children can discover how different objects and heights fit together.

The core consists of firm yet lightweight PE foam that maintains its shape during daily use. The exterior is finished with durable PVC artificial leather, making the surface smooth and easy to clean.

The Blue version adds a distinct yet calm color to the play area and pairs beautifully with both neutral tones and other soft-play colors.

IGLU recommends the Wedge for children aged approximately 6 to 36 months. The play block is made in Latvia.

A soft slope to explore

The Wedge stands out due to its simple sloped shape.

The surface rises gradually from low to high, allowing young children to experience a different type of surface than playing on a flat floor.

For example, they can:

• Crawl up the slope
• Place their hands on a higher section
• Shift their weight forward
• Explore the block from different sides
• Incorporate the wedge block into a larger play route

It is precisely the simple shape that leaves room to discover for themselves how the block can be used.

Dimensions of 40 x 40 x 20 cm

The IGLU Wedge has a size of:

40 x 40 x 20 cm

The compact size makes the block easy to use in smaller play areas and simple to combine with other soft shapes.

For instance, the Wedge can find a place in:

• A nursery
• A playroom
• A play corner in the living room
• An existing soft-play setup

Because it is a single loose element, you can start small and add other play blocks later.

Crawling over a height difference

A flat surface requires different movements than a soft slope.

When a child crawls upward, their body posture must adapt to the changing surface.

In doing so, children can engage in playful activities such as:

• Moving hands and knees
• Distributing weight
• Moving to a higher level
• Adjusting their posture to the slope
• Choosing their own route

This can provide opportunities to practice coordination during active floor play.

We formulate this deliberately as an opportunity to discover and practice, not as a guarantee of a specific motor development effect.

Recommended for 6 to 36 months

IGLU recommends the Wedge for children aged approximately:

6 to 36 months

Within this broad age range, the same block can be interesting in different ways.

For example, a younger child might mainly:

• Move against the block
• Touch and explore the slope
• Crawl over a small height difference

Later, the Wedge can increasingly become part of:

• A movement route
• A soft obstacle course
• Building play with other shapes
• Imaginative play

Actual use always depends on the child's individual motor capabilities.

Can be used independently

You do not need a complete soft-play set to get started with the Wedge.

Place the block independently in the play corner to instantly create a new surface to discover.

This makes the Wedge convenient when you:

• Have limited space
• Want to try one soft-play element first
• Want to expand an existing play area
• Want to add more shapes step-by-step later

Combinable with other soft-play shapes

The Wedge can also be placed next to other soft play blocks.

Think of:

• A step shape
• A Wave
• A cube
• Other soft PE foam blocks

By using different elements together, a route can be created with multiple heights and shapes.

Other soft-play components are sold separately.

A different route every time

Because the individual play elements are separate, you can change the setup regularly.

For instance, the Wedge can:

• Form the start of a course
• Be placed against another block
• Lie between multiple elements
• Be used loosely in the play area

This way, the same play shape does not have to be used in the exact same way every day.

Discovering shapes and space

When children combine different soft-play shapes, they can also experiment with how objects relate to one another.

For example, they can discover:

• Which shapes fit next to each other
• How high different elements are
• What happens when a block is turned
• How a route changes after moving a component

That can invite spatial discovery and creative play.

Room for imaginative play

The Wedge does not exclusively have to be a slope.

In imaginative play, the simple shape can transform into, for example:

• A small mountain
• A hill
• A road going up
• An obstacle
• A part of a self-built play world

It is precisely simple shapes that leave room for one's own ideas and different ways of playing.

Firm PE foam

The core of the IGLU Wedge consists of PE foam.

According to product information, this material is:

• Firm
• Lightweight
• Shape-retaining during daily use

As a result, the block maintains its sloped shape during repeated play, while remaining relatively easy to move.

Lightweight and easy to move

The lightweight foam construction makes it easy to reposition the Wedge when the play setup changes.

This is practical when you:

• Want to create a new route
• Need more floor space
• Want to combine the block with other shapes
• Want to rearrange the playroom

This keeps the play environment flexible.

PVC artificial leather upholstery

Around the PE foam core is a covering made of PVC artificial leather.

This outer layer gives the block a smooth, finished surface.

According to product information, the covering is durable and suitable for daily use.

Easy to clean

For the maintenance of the IGLU Wedge, the manufacturer recommends:

• A soft cloth
• Mild soap

Dust and minor usage stains can be easily removed from the surface this way.

More extensive maintenance instructions are not mentioned in the provided information.

Blue – Fresh color for the play corner

This version features the color:

Blue

The blue color adds a distinct color tone to the play area and can be combined nicely with, for example:

• White
• Beige
• Grey Beige
• Ecru
• Other shades of blue
• Soft pastel tones
• Natural wood

This way, the Wedge fits into both a calmly decorated playroom and a more colorful soft-play environment.

For daily indoor play

The IGLU Wedge is designed as a soft play element for indoor use.

The block requires no assembly and can be placed directly into the play area.

Use it on a suitable, stable surface and ensure appropriate supervision during play.
