Unleash the after-school spirit
When they burst through the door, the afternoon is wide open. Create a space that's ready for the snacks, the play, and the much-needed downtime. Our IKEA essentials for children are designed to harness the post-school rush – and whatever comes next. The after-school hours are often a mix of learning, creativity and play. As a new school year begins, discover our Back to School essentials for ideas that help make everyday routines easier, from homework time to after-school activities.

Homework can wait
After a full day at school, little hands are eager to finish their latest craft project. A well-organised workspace with good lighting supports creativity, then quickly transforms into the perfect spot for homework, making it easy to switch between activities and keep everything organised.
Room for masterpieces
Preparing for next day’s adventure
What’s under the bed? Stories!
Snuggling up with a bedtime story is the perfect ending to a busy day – and a wonderful way to nurture a love of reading. Keeping books within easy reach makes it simple to pick tonight’s story, while smart storage helps keep everything organised. Then, simply switch off the reading light, and it’s time to drift off to dreamland.
