22 Times IKEA Customers Spotted Shark Plushies “Doing Human Things” At Their Stores
IKEA first started selling Blåhaj (Blaha) a few years ago, but was recently convinced to relaunch the plush shark after fans petitioned for its comeback. Since then, the friendly-looking toy has appeared in countless social media posts, and some have even created separate Instagram accounts for their plushy pal.
But the Swedish furniture brand had more plans for Blåhaj.

The toy just became a part of its Let's Play! campaign. Allow me to elaborate. Highlighting that a home can also be a playground, IKEA is spending nearly two months showing that everyone can build play into each day and it can be "as easy as, well, child's play!" Naturally, the beloved Blåhaj got an important role in the campaign.
"Instead of a single kids play area, we’ve sprinkled our stores with several special children’s activities during Let’s play!" IKEA wrote in a statement. "One of them is Shark Trails, a fun treasure hunt in which our BLÅHAJ soft toy – and limited-edition baby shark version – are hidden all over the store. So grab a map and pop a mark on it each time you spot one of these iconic plush toys."
Wanting to become a part of this, clients have been joining in the fun as well. People are rearranging the plushies at IKEA stores, making their shelf lives much more interesting.
Yeah! I also like to hang in a coat-hanger with my evening dress on..
Is that shark fishing for that human stick figure thing?
The eyes say it all. This shark deserves this drink.
They need one where Ikea Shark is eating Elf on the Shelf
YES
Now I want to go to Ikea to see the sharks....
DO NOT DO THAT!! IKEA is a maze. Once you go in, you can never find your way out. 😂
Yes you can..as long as you leave a trail of Swedish Meatballs..lol
Now they have maps on the walls showing the shortcuts... years ago I was the only one in my family who knew them. I love IKEA!
Spikey Bunny. A co-worker of mine told me years ago that her mother would always tell her and her brother if they didn't behave, she'd take them to IKEA (she told them it stood for International Kid Exchange Association.) You drop off your misbehaving kids at the ball pit and pick out replacement children and take them home as your new family. Then IKEA retrains your kids so they can be adopted out in exchange for other misbehaving kids.
Not true, you can find the way out.. It's your wallet that not find it!
Baaaaaby Shark doo doo doodoo doodoo. This post has stuck the freaking song in my head, thought I would share the happiness.
