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.”

For use on whiteboards. The lifespan of the pen will decrease if used on paper.
The whiteboard pen will leave permanent marks on most surfaces and materials, however, immediately washing the area with a stain remover may give good results.

GoodMarisolGood but a little difficult to erase. Very nice colors.
DriedDeepaWhen opened up they were dried was not working none of them
Does not erase ChouDoes not come off the whiteboard without scrubbing really hard. Terrible markers.Avoid!
Dried outSeyoungJust opened, but the pink one was dried out.
Dried OutChristinedisappointed. the markers are completely dried out.
Not for whiteboard WanwimonCan’t be erased
Not suitable for White BoardAkimiDried out, IKEA replaces it. No problem.
The ones that work doesn't erase at all. What is the point if it doesn't erase? Colors are wonderful, so this was a disappointing purchase.
MULTIPLE PACKS ALL DRIED OUT - TEST BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE!JonathanWe bought and returned multiple packs of these markers. They all were dried out and didnt work. Returned all of them and went with the big brand from Target
Don’t waste your moneyDianeArrived completely dried out, did not work at all.
Not suitable for white board MarionThey don't erase like the other set of markers. A wet cloth or sponge usually work well for the markers but these ones stain the board, it's very disappointing, we can't use them.
AwesomeSarraBeautiful colours and wipe off easily
They don't eraseDebraThese colors are beautiful and are sold as white board markers amongst the other set. But these ones do NOT erase very easily. I had to take a wet rag and really scrub it off. I'm worried it will stain the board over time. I might try to return these.
Do not work like dry eraseJenniferFirst colors dried up so we got these but they simply do not erase like dry erase, you have to get a wet rag to get the ink off the board, completely different ink from the ones that come with eraser.
Realistically not for white boardsAkimiI bought these thinking what a beautiful color it will be so fun! The first pkg had dried up and had no colors so IKEA gave us a replacement - Great!
Second try, this does not erase as the other standard colors, and it is actually a real pain to clean the white board after use. It's unfortunate as the colors are so beautiful.
Not recommend.
Dried OutHaleyAlready dried out immediately upon opening.

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.”
