Let’s play! You, us, everyone!

When we play, we learn, develop, experience and grow. Our creativity expands. Our bonds strengthen. We de-stress. That’s why we at IKEA believe in children’s right to play and in play as a basic need of every single human being.

So join us in celebrating the power of play during November. Because we'll be highlighting how, by simply seeing home as a playground, building play into each day can be easy – as easy as, well, child’s play!

Creativity for good

We welcome all IKEA Family kids aged 0-12 to join our annual Soft toy drawing competition, held at IKEA U.A.E between Oct 31 - Nov 16. The winning designs will be turned into next year’s SAGOSKATT plush toys, to be sold in IKEA stores all over the world in support of children’s right to play. So come and let your imagination run wild!

SAGOSKATT – designed by kids

Designed by kids in our annual Soft toy drawing competition, the fabulous new SAGOSKATT collection includes a cucumber superhero, a dancing red robot and a sock-wearing rainbow. With 100% of the purchase price of each donated to local initiatives that support children’s right to play, SAGOSKATT is all about kids helping other kids.

Co-create sustainably with us

Welcome to MÅLA Studios, an imaginative playground dedicated to co-creation with IKEA. It’s about sustainability, craft and easy drawing for kids, their parents and their carers. Formed of reused flat-packs from the store, at MÅLA Studios kids are free to be resourceful with how they reuse materials. Here, we’ll also host events like the Soft toy drawing competition and other creative workshops during Let’s play! and beyond.
