Octopus
QUED® Octopus adds a new dimension to soft‑play activity. The eight‑sided design challenges toddlers to move and discover different dynamics and coordination.
Challenge
Offer a compact shape that enables varied balance and crawling approaches.
Solution
Use a multi‑faceted foam core with reinforced ~0.61 kg/m² (18 oz/yd²) cover and 51 mm (2 in) hook‑and‑loop closures for layout stability.
The Shape
The multi‑faceted body offers repeated approach angles so children can vary balance, crawling, and climbing patterns within a compact footprint.
The Construction
The Octopus uses a polyester‑reinforced vinyl cover (~0.61 kg/m² / 18 oz/yd²) over a ~44 ILD polyurethane foam core. Seams are inverted and cross‑stitched, with full‑width hook‑and‑loop flaps and a concealed YKK zipper.
The Operation
Place the Octopus on a level surface and orient it to present different approach angles. Join to adjacent shapes with hook‑and‑loop if required.
