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 realized 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.”

Coloured PencilRoswithaGreat for children to use
Best pencils for painting with young childrenAnonymousTheses pencils are amazing. They colour with them first and then apply water to make the colours blend together like you painted the item. My granddaughter loved doing a bird house with them.
WatercolorMarieMy daughter loves them especially when she learned that she can use the wet paint brush and it changes her work of art from colored pencil to watercolor!
Great idea! My granddaughter loves these.MiekeGreat!

Comfortable fit PatriciaVery comfortable grip for children especially
Great! RyanMy daughter and I love using these. Perfect shape and size. Just a bit pricey.
Okay but not great!BrigidI bought these for our daughter who is 6. We spend a lot of time doing crafts and thought these would be fun. We tried colouring and then using the paint brush to blend the colours and then we tried dipping them in the water and then drawing. Both options didn't work well. We will not be purchasing another set.
Great Coloured PencilsChristineWe really like these pencils. They colour nicely and sharpen nicely and they fit perfectly in my son’s hands.

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 realized 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 solid wood?
Solid wood is one of our favourite materials and is part of our Scandinavian heritage. It is also a timeless material with many uses. Regardless of the wood species, it is durable, beautiful and renewable. We strive to use this raw material as smartly and efficiently as possible to avoid waste – and we also invest in facilities and logistics so that we can increase the use of recycled wood.
