Some play spaces transform the moment a child steps in - the IGLU Imagination Tunnel soft play set is one of them. Available across Canada and the US through The Sensory Supply, this handmade foam playset turns any living room, playroom, or sensory space into a tunnel adventure that toddlers and young children genuinely cannot resist.

The tunnel structure invites crawling, exploring, and imaginative storytelling. On its own it takes up just 1 m2 (10.5 sq ft), making it compact enough for a bedroom corner - the recommended play area is at least 2.5 m2 (27 sq ft). It arrives in two boxes.

Key Features of the IGLU Soft Play Imagination Tunnel

• 100% Recyclable High-Quality PE Foam with Closed-Cell Structure - Firm yet feather-light so the set holds its shape over years of vigorous play, and toddlers can rearrange pieces independently without adult help.
• Tough Eco-Leather Cover - Robust, pleasant to the touch, and easy to care for - wipes clean with a damp cloth or wet wipe, so messes stay manageable even on the busiest days.
• Safety Certified in the EU, USA, Canada and UK - IGLU soft blocks are CE marked under the EU Toy Safety Directive and have been vigorously tested for harmful substances, giving parents and caregivers complete confidence.
• Handmade from Sewing to Packaging - Every IGLU product is made entirely in-house in Latvia, Europe, ensuring quality control at every stage of production.
• Built to Last a Decade - Dense PE foam does not lose its shape; the set is engineered to outlast the toddler years by a wide margin.
• Modular by Design - Shapes mix and match with other IGLU modules and colours for a more visually stimulating sensory experience, extending the play value as the child grows.
• Available in Multiple Colour Ways - White, Multi-Colour, Grey/White, and Beige/White options let families match the set to their space.
• Charitable Donation Included - A percentage of proceeds from this product goes directly to Autism Canada.

Why Active Play Matters for Sensory and Motor Development

Crawling and climbing through a tunnel isn't just good fun - it delivers real vestibular and proprioceptive input that supports children's developing sense of balance, spatial awareness, and body coordination. The shapes within the Imagination Tunnel set guide children through a range of movements, from the subtle work of navigating an enclosed space to the coordinated effort of climbing, pushing, and orienting themselves. Whether used for parallel play, collaborative exploration, or individual imaginative adventure, the set supports the natural developmental arc of infants through toddlers and young children.

OTs and paediatric physiotherapists across North America use IGLU soft play sets as practical tools for developing gross motor skills, vestibular function, and muscle coordination - and the Imagination Tunnel set is sized for both clinic and home use.

Skills Children Develop Through the IGLU Imagination Tunnel

• Gross Motor Skills - Crawling, climbing, and manoeuvring the tunnel develops whole-body coordination and physical confidence at every stage of early childhood.
• Vestibular Skills - Moving through enclosed and varied shapes improves spatial awareness, balance, and the understanding of body orientation in space.
• Creativity and Logical Thinking - The modular nature of IGLU shapes encourages children to arrange, rearrange, and problem-solve as they build new configurations.
• Social Interaction and Cooperation - Whether toddlers play alongside each other or together, the tunnel set supports turn-taking, shared exploration, and collaborative storytelling.
• Sensory Stimulation - Different textures, colours, and sizes provide tactile and visual input that contributes to sensory development and engagement.
• Emotional Expression - A self-directed play environment gives children a safe outlet for creativity, excitement, and exploratory energy.

The IGLU Soft Play Imagination Tunnel is a natural fit for families and caregivers seeking open-ended indoor play equipment, OTs and paediatric physiotherapists looking for practical home-use tools to complement a sensory diet, daycares, early childhood centres, and play spaces building safe motor-skill environments, and anyone - neurodiverse or neurotypical - who wants a durable, beautifully made play set that truly grows with a child.
