Together with the supplier and designers, we didn’t only manage to correct the problems; we also lowered the price and extended the drawing surface down to the floor. “It makes it possible for smaller children to reach a larger surface, and older children can sit down on the floor when they draw and paint.” But was the easel good enough now, or could it get even better? “To find out, we invited parents in a store to test and comment. This way, we could ask questions and listen to their reflections.”

More information
This easel has a black chalkboard on one side and a whiteboard on the other – perfect for creating and learning.
Also suitable for small children since the drawing area is large (31x21") and close to the floor.
Whiteboard pens, chalk, and other small things can be stored in the easel's two removable trays.
Creating and being creative makes you calm and focused, and is extra nice after a day of school and activities.

First Order from IKEA!NovelineI loved the easel board. It's big and sturdy. The value for money is also okay considering that it was also delivered here in Mindanao from Manila. Also, will definitely use it during the learning session of our kids. Our learning & playroom space is now ready & complete. I loved my first experience of ordering something here in IKEA.

Great Learning and Drawing Set for Kids!TreborThe MÅLA set from IKEA is really helpful for my kids who are in nursery and kinder. It helps them learn to draw, write their ABCs, and practice spelling in a fun way. The only downside is that the whiteboard is a bit hard to erase since it’s not the usual metal-type surface, but overall it’s still a great educational and creative set for kids!

Story
For artists in all sizes
After more than 20 years in the range, the MÅLA easel is a real hero that millions of children have loved. But nothing is so good that it can’t be improved. So, we rolled up our sleeves and tweaked several important details. After that, we asked some parents what they thought of the prototype. Their input helped us make the easel even smarter.
“Through the years, we’ve got some comments on the easel. For example, that the paper roll was difficult to roll up, and that it was complicated to fold up and store away the easel.” tells Jorge Omar Santoyo Henaine, who works with product development at Children’s IKEA.
Good can get better
Easier to paint – and clean up
Parents appreciated that the tray for pens, brushes, and paint is made of easy to maintain plastic instead of wood. But they thought it should be on both sides so two children can draw and paint at the same time. And one parent said: “My child spills and makes a mess, I want to be able to rinse the tray in the sink.” “It convinced us that it’s better if you can remove the trays. We want to make life more simple and more creative for both the children and their parents, and to succeed it’s crucial to involve them like we did that day in the store.”

Creative geniuses come in small sizes!

There’s an easel, colorful modelling dough, grip-friendly brushes and scissors that suit tiny hands, and paint that is easy to mix and wash off. No nagging your child to put caps back on the felt-tip pens – they survive 3 days without caps. And everything’s non-toxic. Since we care just as much about the next generation’s creative minds as you do.
