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.”

Good qualityArshakReasonably priced for the quality.
Classroom MarkersDanielleThis markers were great for the classroom with their size and variety. An improvement would be making them a little juicier as they need a break to refill after heavy use.
WillBuy again !RebeccaWorks well and nice colour selection
So many coloursRebeccaMy granddaughter goes through these like mad. She would like an extra black. I just wish there were a way to recycle markers at the store. It is such a gorgeous collectipn of colours
Beautiful colours, nice to work with, not all that washable SueThese markers are nicer than some much more expensive ones we’ve had and the colour palette is beautiful. Bought for a 4 year old, but the 18 month trickster got them and our stuffed fox named Hobbes now has a permanent mark on his new flight suit that didn’t wash out. It’s also very challenging to scrub off a table top so do yourself a favour and put the splat mat down (why doesn’t Ikea sell a splat mat???) and put the younger ones outside. Oh and get the Skogsduva colouring paper roll if you can - it’s amazing!

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.”
