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.”

Wider tip there expected, but love the qualitySerenaThey are wide tips, and are excellent quality. Smooth and have lasted and drawn well.
Best markers for toddlersKrutiEasy to hold, easy to apply, my 3 and 5 year old and I love doing projects with this. We color for hours without any pain.
PerfectPriscillaThe best markets out there.
DryShelleyI’ve had Mala markers in the past and really liked them so I was excited to see a larger color pack. However, the set I purchased seemed a bit dry or not as juicy as a new marker should be.
Good productSophiaThe kids love these markers. They liked the feel of it on paper, the grip and the mix of colors. The colors are vibrant on coloring books.
markers drying quicklyVijayanandmarkers getting dried quickly. even thought they are good at working on paper, but 2 hours open on table and see the effect of tip. feel its dried almost. need a way to make it usable again. how it can be made wet and ready for use on paper for colouring.
Perfect colored sketch pensAnimeshThe colored sketch pens are really good and doesn’t leave smudges. There could be a different color variety can be introduced as it’s missing many other colors. The number of pens in that price is very attractive. My kid love to color using these ikea color pens.
Safety IssuePatriciaNice colors and super affordable but some of the markers have sharp edges sticking out due to excess plastic. It cut my finger causing bleeding but at least it was my hand and not my child’s! :(
MarkersGalinaVery nice markers long lasting
Waterproof?SherylBought these for my four-year-old grandson to use. But chose not to use them. As nowhere on the package, does it state waterproof. But yet they were in the children’s department. So I don’t want him writing all over things if markers don’t wash out. It would be helpful IKEA if you added that word if they are indeed waterproof.
A rainbow of pensErikThese pens are very good quality for the price. I am so happy.
Colors!JulieBought these for my grandkid and she loves them. Work great. Loved the price
Can’t beat the price and quality ChelseaFor the price, what a great deal. Bought these markers as an accessory for our kid’s new IKEA desk and they are great. Many colors, work well. Happy with it!
“Every color you could ever need”WhitneyBought these markers for a recent road trip and my 8 year old said “Mom, I love these! There’s ever color I could ever need!” Color is rich and pigmented. Tip is not to thick or too fine, perfect for coloring.
Love the colors but...LindaBut they don't last. Using them for the 1st time and they are already drying out. Not sure what is going wrong.
Great priceJenThese markers are under $3. I was skeptical due to the cost, but they’re vibrant and durable! The color range is great and makes for a fun addition to any play room or office.
My kid love itAnonymous reviewerIts price is reasonable and there are many colors. It is easy to clean, even if the kids draw on the floor and sofa.
Great Fun Markers, Beautiful Colors!HarunaMy toddler and I have fun drawing with these markers. Unlike my super expensive markers, the price point of this set allows me to just enjoy drawing without feeling like I'm wasting them. Colors included are beautiful, some are dark and bold and others are light and bright. What would make these better: caps that come off a little easier for toddlers, caps that stay put at the end of the marker when you're drawing with them or make them retractable.
Pretty colorsAnonymous reviewerNice gift for young arts and craft lovers. Great price for number of markers.

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.”
