The team interviewed groups of children who got to try out prototypes and provide their points of view. What were their favourite colours? What did they think of the paper? “The children had very strong and sensible opinions. We also realised how they use drawing and painting gear. For example, if you’re four years old and in the middle of making a drawing, you don’t always think of putting the cap back on the felt pen. So, these pens will last up to three days without caps.” To ensure high quality at the right price, the development work was allowed to take extra time. “What children do and how they do it is super important. That’s why we considered all their feedback and made sure the products met their needs.”

Bright, colourful & funAnonymous reviewerMy nephew loved them although he asked 'where's the red'... not sure what the answer was beyond 'who needs red when you have an amazing virulent pink!'.
MALA 4 Draws Anonymous reviewerI Love the MALA Range I have 2 sets of Drawers, 2 bedside tables and a slim but tall set of drawers with the mirror in the top. All very easy to build and I didn’t have help. I collected them from the Nottingham store.

MALA fluorescent paintAnonymous reviewerI selected the paint set in the children’s section, for my young granddaughter who is at the experimental stage with painting. Sadly, I’m hovering overhead with a cleaning cloth for a well protected area but paint still manages to get caught in so many nooks and crannies! At home, I read the box and there were warnings the paints would stain. Having selected it from the children’s dept, this came as a bit of a shock; the paints therefore have not been used and I wasted my money. Unfortunately I’m unable to comment on the quality of the paints
Great colours and perfect consistancyAnonymous reviewerBought these paints on a whim and i love the colours and the way the bottles function to release the paint. I would recommend these as the colour stay true after they dry too!

Story
For all creative little explorers
Drawings all over the kitchen table and coloured felt pens without caps. Does it sound familiar? This is definitely part of living with children, and actually something to be happy about. Painting, drawing, and crafting are in fact not just fun, but important work, and a way for your child to develop. When we created the MÅLA series, we wanted to take children’s creation very seriously and listened to the true experts: the children themselves.
We always start with the child’s perspective to understand what they really need. In this project, we found facts and inspiration in pedagogy focusing on creativity. “We realised that creativity isn’t just any play for children, they’re little researchers who use creation to understand the world around them,” says Ina Tidbeck Sjöblom who was part of creating the MÅLA series.
Made for busy artists
Easy to get started
The MÅLA series has been around for a long time, but it keeps growing and evolving as we see new needs and get new ideas. All parts should be easy to grab and use whenever inspiration strikes. “The child shouldn’t need a parent nearby to start drawing or painting. Being able to do things on your own is an important part of development. You grow with the task.”
Material
What is PE plastic?
PE, or polyethylene, is a versatile plastic with many uses. It can be soft and flexible as well as tough and strong. At IKEA we use PE for things like plastic bags, freezer bags, ice packs and chopping boards. A big reason why we like this plastic is that it can be made from renewable raw materials like corn and sugar cane.
Quality
Creative genius comes in small sizes!
Paint! Cut! Draw! The MÅLA series has everything your child needs to let their imagination and creativity flow. Paintbrushes with untreated wooden handles that give good grip, scissors made to fit tiny hands, and colours that are easy to mix and wash off. No nagging your child to put the cap back on – our felt-tip pens survive a full 3 days without caps. Everything’s non-toxic, of course. Because we care as much about the next generation of creative minds as you do.
