Bored kids? IKEA has a free solution for them

It’s a pity most of us can’t head to IKEA right now.

Even though most IKEA stores around the globe are closed the Swedish furniture store is still trying its best to make home count and keep us entertained.

Again, the brilliant folks at IKEA Israel and their agency, McCann, have the solution — the IKEA catalog reimagined as an activity / colouring book for kids.

The IKEA family boredom solutions

It looks just like the regular IKEA catalog cover but it isn’t.

Instead of colorful room sets, it’s line drawn in black and white. Nevertheless, still as fun as a regular IKEA catalog.

Within its pages, there’s nothing too complicated — IKEA room sets for colouring in, a Battleship game where IKEA pencils are boats, a maze that challenges kids to bring a lamp home.

It should keep the younger ones amused for a few hours.

Let’s take a look at a few pages.

My favourite is the one below, which pokes fun at IKEA’s maze like stores.

The IKEA Israel version is free for download here. (It has more pages.)

They don’t offer an English download, but I’ve compiled the pages from various sources into a pdf booklet which you can download here: The IKEA family boredom solutions.Download

Just download and print it out. Then let your kids at it. Enjoy!

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years. I love how super customisable it is, with a growing range of accessories that help keep things organized. It works everywhere, in your wardrobe to bathroom . Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up.

And they’ve settle these 5 issues you may have faced with the handy IKEA pegboard. Read on for their fixes. 5 IKEA SKÅDIS issues and fixes #1 Expensive hooks? You’ll need quite a number of hooks and accessories to fill up the SKÅDIS pegboard, and Kenyer was shocked at how quickly they all added up. So he figured he could make his own hooks to save cost.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a  Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

A wall of IVAR cabinets with doors engraved is astonishingly captivating. Because IVAR is real solid wood (unlike a lot of flat-pack cupboards), it makes a great blank canvas for CNC machining work and engraving. IKEA items used: IKEA IVAR cabinets in 30mm (12″) and 50mm (20″) depths. IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...
