Play is serious stuffFrom waking up as a kangaroo, to going to bed as a racing car driver, playis a child’s full-time job. And it’s a job to be taken seriously. Because it’s notjust fun and games – but the basis for how children learn, develop andbecome who they are. And that fact underpins all the work we do here atChildren’s IKEA, and is the reason why we believe that home is the mostimportant playground. When creating our products, we always start by speaking with leadingchildren’s experts. They teach us about things like safety, and how differentkinds of play stimulate different areas of child development. Then we turnto the real specialists – children themselves, asking them to play with ourproducts as we watch, listen and learn. And by seeing the world throughtheir eyes, we can create the kind of playmates that children love,and learn from.

Unlimited playKids see the world differently from us adults. We see a wooden block,they see an airoplane, or a robot, or any number of imagined things.And it’s because of this that we think it’s important to keep our toysas basic as possible. Because when so much fun comes purely fromyour own imagination, why would you want to complicate life?

By encouraging them to express themselvesfreely, you'll let them exercise imagination, and find ways toexpress their personality. Art is a human instinct.

Great buddies deserve good homes Life can be frustrating sometimes. Your best buddy does a disappearing act right before bedtime, or your favourite paintbrush is nowhere to be seen. It’s probably not their number one priority, 5 but children do actually appreciate a bit of order. After all, it creates more space to play in, and it means they can find stuff. With features like transparent plastic for good overview and wheels for easy transport, our children’s storage helps kids keep track of all their favourite playmates.FABLER ANKAwall pockets5£ .99

Meet Anna Anna Efverlund at the age of two.Efverlund,IKEA designer “I return to my childhood all the time. One of my favourite memories is of visiting my grandmother, where I would play with her colourful buttons for hours and hours. It’s a good example of how children play, how simple buttons can inhabita magical world of their own. The joy I felt over those buttons asa child is a great source of inspiration in my work today as agrown-up. Because to do a good job as a designer for Children’sIKEA, you need to think differently – these products need to bemore than just fun – they should also be functional, affordable andmost of all, safe. And since a childish mind does a good job of challengingconventions, I guess it’s fair to say it’s my job never to grow up.”FAMNIG HJÄRTA cushion £6.99 ”I worked really hard to make this100% polyester.
