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.”

Product details
Short handles make it easier for children to hold and control the brushes when painting.
The brush handles are lacquered so it's easy to clean them, however we recommend washing both handles and bristles with water immediately after each use.
Creating and being creative makes you calm and focused, and is extra nice after a day of school and activities.

Great Brushes!ChristineWe prefer these brushes over other brushes we’ve tried. We like them very much. They are a great quality brush and I like how it comes with different sizes and styles. Perfect size for my son’s hands.
Great quality and priceDaphineYhese are awesome brushed! Great for anything really! Just wish there was an Ikea closer to where we live, so I didn't have to drive 50 kms to get these brushes...

Paint brushSherryMy favourite brushes to use . Smooth finish
PaintbrushesJonneGreat kid sized. Different sized brushes allows little ones to be creative.
Good value and good rangeSuzanGood value and good range of size and types of brush.
No brushstrokes!ArwahI bought these for my kids to use with their easel but have ended up buying multiple packs for myself to use when painting/refinishing furniture. They are so smooth and leave virtually no brushstrokes. I get a smoother finish with these then some people do with brushes that cost 10 times more!
I love them for my kids too because the handles are perfect for their little hands to grip. For easel work it would be great if they had some wider ones but these are perfect too.

Awesome brushesBrendaI know these are from the kids section, but they are the best little paint brushes I've ever used! Easy to clean and the bristles don't fall out onto your work. I wish they came in larger brush sizes as well.

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.
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.
