The team interviewed groups of children who got to try out prototypes and provide their points of view. What were their favorite colors? 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.”

MÅLA 4-piece modelling dough toolset, multicolor
With the rolling pin, your young artist can roll out the modelling dough and then make different figures by using the cutters – again and again. Why not join them?
The cutters can also be used to create patterns on paper that can then be painted and decorated by using felt-tip pens, colored pencils or wax crayons from the MÅLA series.
Designed for small hands – simple to grip and press down to create the shapes.
Creating and being creative makes you calm and focused, and is extra nice after a day of school and activities.

Play set is okStaceyThe play set is ok. Rolling pun is great the challenge is the cutters do not release the dough and leave pieces of dough making for harder clean up.
Mala 4 piece modeling dough toolsetSusanAlthough this purchase was the display and only had three pieces (no rolling pin), it was perfect for making sugar cookies.
Great purchase! LiliiaThis set is amazing as well as the IKEA play dough. Many people said here that play dough sticks to the wooden roller. And that’s true. But I found a great solution to this problem!!!! The rolling pin needs to be greased with any oil, for example coconut oil or some special wax for wooden kitchen utilities (you could choose something on Amazon). And voila, enjoy!
Very good SvitlanaVery good
Doh CuttersMichelleThis set is great set for kids to use with play doh and even really cookies too.
Dough sticks to the roller !!!! MaryamI wish I read the reviewed before I bought it. The dough sticks to the roller and make it impossible to use !!!
Rolling pin and cuttersKathyI got these for my grandkids for play dough and they love them! They are easy for them to use.
Modeling dough sticks to rollerLilliannaLove the modeling dough and the metal cutters work great. However, the modeling dough sticks to roller and it’s really hard to get off. We just stopped using it all together, bummer.
AdorableLisaGreat for little hands and imaginative play.
Mostly goodSaydiI love the cutters, however, the rolling pin is a different story, the play-Doh sticks to it, other than that would be great.
Kids enjoy playing with itTanuI got it for my 2 year old but my 12 year old also enjoys playing with it. The quality is good and strong. They sure can add 1-2 more cookie cutters in there as there is only 3 in there.
Roller was not good NehalI had cutters so mainly bought this for the roller which was not good as there was wood splinters coming out of it and the play dough ( both ikeas and other brands) kept sticking to it.

Story
For all creative little explorers
Drawings all over the kitchen table and colored 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.”
