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.”

Best paint MicheleThis is the best paint, washes off so easily. The grand be kids love it, easy to use and has kept them busy for such a long time.
spill proof and easy to useHardeepI was more concerned about the packaging as kids are not able to handle water colors carefully. but these are the best, spill proof and easy to handle.
Fantastic, but! TyaMy children love this.
However some colours run out far faster than others….
Please consider allowing us to purchase bottles separately, to refill as we go.
Easy to washTetianaLove the colors
Kids love these convenient paintsDenseConvenient-no mixing or brushes required. Younger grandkids have used brushes and hands to create, while older ones use like a pen for drawing. Only drawback is may stain garments.
Awesome paint!ChristineMy son calls this his magic paint because it has a shimmer to it. It is much different than our other paints. He loves it. This is his second set so far. It’s easy to use and has a nice top for a 4 year old to use easily without messes.
We will buy again once this has been used up.

AmazingKatelynI have been using these for a beautiful extra touch when writing cards. I love how easy the paint flows and the bottle is easy to squeeze. I will definitely be buying a few more packages to give as gifts and to have my set separate from the kids. Vibrant colours are lovely.

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 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. Paint brushes with untreated wooden handles are easy to grip, scissors made to fit tiny hands, and colors 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.
