Children want to spend more time with their parents. It’s a wish that doesn’t come with any requirements. All time spent together has the same value. A visit to an amusement park isn’t worth more than hanging out together in the living room, just enjoying being close as a family. Very often, the most ordinary things are often the most memorable that we carry with us for the rest of our lives. And the most precious thing in a home isn’t the sofas or the computers or the new kitchen – it’s the time spent together. Even when the family isn’t doing anything special, they’re still spending time together and that’s what counts. Time is valuable. But time together is priceless. Families with children have huge needs and little time, money, patience and space. Creating a warm and inviting environment where everyone, big andsmall alike, is involved and has a place is one of the big challenges. There needs to be space for storage and seating for adults and children. It needs to allow the family to be together in the same space, with each member feeling comfortable. At IKEA, we help make time and space for being together. From designing safe, functional products to stocking child-friendly stores with free baby food, we take care of the details so you can focus more on the fun stuff. It’s all part of creating a better everyday life at home — the most important playground for the most important people in the world. 71% of parents want to have more time to chill out with their children. Not doing anything special counts as long as it’s together. 71% of parents want to encourage more creativity at home. Making space for imagination allows children’s creativity to flourish. 04 IKEA FAMILY news 54% of children agree that ‘I like playing inside the house’. >50% of parents agree that ‘play is when my child and I lose all sense of time’. LIVING WITH CHILDREN Children allowed in every room. Have you ever tried to see your own home through the eyes of a child? Perhaps you’d like to hang a swing from the ceiling? Maybe you think the shelves in the hall are far too high up? Or do you possibly want to move the sofa into the kitchen? One thing’s clear. The chances are, you’ll start to see life at home from a totally different perspective. 85% of parents agree that ‘children learn more if they are encouraged to relax and have a playful outlook’. My world, my home. For the first few years of a child’s life, the home is the whole world for that child. It’s a world that has to cope with an everyday life filled with adventure, daring voyages of discovery and fascinating experiments. We adults can never foresee what kids will get up to, and what new ways they will find to use the furniture and other possessions we have in the home. One moment they are lying on a sofa; the next the same sofa has become a mountain which simply has to be climbed and conquered. As they grow older, home becomes a safe “base”. A place where they have their own things and can do what they want – draw, play computer games or challenge dad to a game of twister. An environment where they feel relaxed and can develop together with the rest of the family. STUVA storage bench 2,290 THB (Last year’s price 2,900 THB) IKEA FAMILY news 05 47% LIVING WITH CHILDREN of parents agree that ‘I am concerned about keeping my children safe and feel I have to be overprotective of them in this world’. AGEN children's armchair 790 THB 2 3 1 STRIND coffee table 4,990 THB 4 5 I’m going to build a castle. What we adults can do is create the right conditions for play. Children may be the smallest members of the family, but it seems they still need more room than anyone else. If the various areas of the home are used for many different purposes, it’s easier for play to find a natural place in daily life. The kitchen table, for instance, can double as a table tennis table or an artist’s studio. And a big sofa provides room for both playing and reading. Furniture you can stack, fold up or roll out of the way means the living room works well not only for the TV news, but also as a makeshift disco. It’s a mystery how small children suddenly grow into bigger ones. Before you know it, the baby on the changing table will be coming home with schoolbooks, four friends and an electric guitar. That’s what makes extendable beds and desks with height-adjustable legs such smart investments. Locking drawers are invaluable for keeping secrets safe from inquisitive little brothers and sisters. And a sofa-bed makes it easy to invite a friend to sleepover now and again. 06 IKEA FAMILY news 01Rounded edges or corners make it safer for children. Light or wheeled furniture is flexible and allows children to move it without hurting themselves e.g. to create a larger play area. STRIND coffee table 4,990 THB Ø75, H40cm. 02Choose lamps that do not have an exposed bulb to prevent children’s small fingers from reaching inside to touch the hot light bulb and getting burned. 03Smaller, child-sized furniture is often safer and more comfortable for small bodies than adult furniture, since children do not have to climb or strain to reach it or sit in it. Plus it makes them feel all grown-up and responsible. AGEN children’s armchair 790 THB Rattan. W46XD37.5, H53.5cm. 7 8 LIVING WITH CHILDREN 6 HUSET doll's furniture 499 THB 04In the everyday room, furniture needs to be easy to use, clean and maintained. Choose durable surfaces that are washable or can withstand spills from drinks and children’s play. 05Carpeted flooring makes play comfortable, cushions falls and adds warmth to any room. Remember to lay it over an anti-slip mat. 06Frame up your child’s favourite artwork as a proud display. Use frames that uses plastic fronts instead of glass keeps it safe for the little ones to handle. Try NYTTJA frames 99 THB/2pcs. W10xH15cm. Assorted colours.

Create areas in the home that make roleplaying possible. DUKTIG mini kitchen 4,390 THB W72xD40, H108cm. 08For longer use, choose flexible furniture you can adjust as the child grows. E.g. extendable bedframes and height adjustable tables/chairs. SANSAD children’s table 1,990 THB W60xL100, H48-60cm. 09A high baby chair can be used practically in many different areas besides the dining room.

A home doesn’t have to be crowded and chaotic simply because there are more of you than there used to be. The solution lies in sensibly planned storage. 10Create storage at different heights so that family members of different ages can reach their own things. Especially for children, they like to be taken seriously and enjoy small responsibilities. See more BESTÅ storage combinations in the IKEA store. 11Toy boxes on castors are easy for children to move around so they can play everywhere. They are also easy and fun to fill up and rollaway when playtime is over. 12Taking care of their belongings and organising their own drawers at a height they can see can be a fun task. Floor-level storage is perfect for the smallest member of the family. STUVA series is easy to add on and versatile to be used in any room. 13Portable boxes and containers are convenient for collecting all sorts of things such as toys or crayons. SAMLA boxes open big and wide so kids can peek in and grab their toys or materials whenever imagination strikes. From nappies to teens… During the first years of a child’s life things develop at a furious pace: from nappies and baby food to discos and “no parents allowed” notices. It’s not easy to keep up. A home needs to adapt simply to a family’s changing needs if both children and adults are to be happy. It has to work well for rest and play, kids’ parties and dinner parties – and be practical, safe and easy to keep clean. 14Invite the children to cook with you but make it safe and easy to set up to the right height. Everyone can be part of kitchen activities. BEKVÄM step stool 690 THB Solid aspen. W43xD39, H50cm. White. 15FÖRSIKTIG children’s stool 89 THB Polypropylene plastic, synthetic rubber.

Even if kids have their own bed, they love to cuddle with their favourite people in the world. See our full range of bedframes at the IKEA store or go to www.IKEA.co.th/children 18Create space to perform because the biggest stars are all in the family. 19Even the most active and outgoing kid needs a little “me” time every once in a while. 19 10 IKEA FAMILY news Make sure all curtain cords in the home are short and electrical cables are secured, so they do not get in children’s way. 20Say “yes” to adventure Sure, accidents happen, especially when yo have kids. But being prepared can prevent many or stop them becoming more serious. Everyday life is simpler and more relaxed if you don’t always have to nag the children to be careful and worry about trapped little fingers, burns, bumps and falls. IKEA products are tested, analysed and approved to meet the strictest safety criteria in the world. We have, for example, our own test lab to help us, with technicians trained to foresee even the most unlikely situations that may arise. Our home safety and child safety products are simple to install and use, and span every area of the home. Children should be allowed the odd misjudgement when climbing, jumping and poking about without this resulting in accidents. Chairs that stand firm, rounded corners and extra low beds all help to make life safer for children and give parents more peace of mind. Children play the way they want, not the way parents expect them to. It can be difficult for adults to foresee what children will get up to, that is where we come in. A hob guard, bookcase anchors, child-resistant sockets, window locks, drawers and chemical cabinets… all make it easier to say “yes” to adventures at home. It pays to be safe, but it doesn’t cost a lot with our low IKEA FAMILY member prices for our PATRULL range. See more at www.IKEA.co.th/FAMILY or visit your nearest IKEA store. Choose toys carefully – make sure there are on bits that can come off and choke a child, have no strings or cords longer than 12inches, and are not too heavy. Children love to climb.

SMÅLES IKEA’s club for 4-12 year olds Children are the most important people in the world and they deserve to have a special experience when they visit the IKEA store. Did you know that småles is not linked to the play area Småland? It’s true! Entry to Småland play area is dependent on the kid’s height, whereas anyone can become a småles member for free, as long as he/she is between the ages of 4-12 years old. So what does a småle get? Let’s follow Mathilda, a 4-year-old småles member around and see what she does in the IKEA store. Mathilda scans her Smålish passport before taking her parents to the IKEA Restaurant Every time she visits, Mathilda scans her Smålish passport at the mushroom located next to Bug House to receive a free drink & discounted meal coupon. Mathilda stays informed so she does not miss any in-store events A special website and newsletter for Smålish citizens allow them to stay in touch with upcoming events, learn about sustainability, etc. Mathilda gathers up newspapers for the store to use at wrapping tables Mathilda, gets ready for every store visit by gathering up old newspapers. She knows that recycling and environmental awareness are important parts of participating in the småles programme. Mathilda earns Smålish dållars and exchanges her dållars for events and merchandise Each time she brings newspaper to the store, she earns Smålish “dållars”. And these are what will allow her to participate in fun events and buy Smålish merchandise. The IKEA kid’s club called småles (pronounced as smalls) is free for all kids aged 4-12 years old to join.

(Well, and keep your wall free from extra colors too!) IKEA FAMILY news 15 SELECTING COOKWARE Cooking can be so much more enjoyable if you are properly equipped. Besides choosing by function, a big consideration is heat conductivity. The better the heat conductivity, the more evenly your food will cook. It also means that when you turn the heat up or down, the reaction time in terms of temperature change will differ. You should also take note how some metals react with certain food. Stainless steel Durable and impact-resistant Durable stainless steel gives pots and pans a long life.And because it is dishwashersafe, it is easy to maintain and keep shiny. For all round flexibility, usability and price, stainless steel cookware would be at the top of the list. A three-layer base, containing aluminium offers more efficient heating from the bottom as stainless steel on its own doesn’t conduct heat as well. Care tips: Lime water, salt water, lemon and vinegar can leave stains on the metal. Staining can be prevented by not adding salt until the water has come to a boil. Aluminium/non-stick coated The best of both Aluminium gives you quick reaction to burner adjustments and even heat distribution. Plus, they are dish-washer safe. Suitable for almost any kind of food. A bonus if it’s non-stick coated. 16 IKEA FAMILY news Frying pan Heat quickly and flip easily The large surface is designed to handle all your meatballs and big stacks of pancakes. Plus the low sides make it easy to slide food over to your plate. Sauté pan Keep the heat on Brown meat, fry vegetables and reduce liquids with maximum heat. Thanks to the pan’s high sides, you can do it all with minimum spills and splashes. There’s also a handy lid to prevent food from drying out. SENSUELL series Stainless steel with aluminium core. Pot with lid 1,590 THB Ø24, H15cm. Holds 4.5L. Sauteuse 1,890 THB Ø24, H9cm. Holds 2L. Frying pan 1,490 THB Ø28, H6cm. Care tips: Protect the non-stick coating by always washing by hand. Do not use metal cleaning scourers or utensils or you would damage the non-stick coating. Also, store the pans properly so they are not scratched, and always let the pans cool down before washing or they may warp from drastic water temperature change. Pot For lots of food or lots of mouths Think pasta, soup and corn on the cob. A pot holds 2 litres or more, with 2 handles that make it easy to move despite its weight and size. IKEA 365+ series.

Saucepan Think side dishes and small portions The name says it all, but a saucepan isn’t just for sauces. Because of its compact size and shape, it’s also helpful when you need to heat up a little butter or milk. Casserole Food that cooks itself A casserole does most of the work for you, on a hob or in an oven. Ideal for browning or frying meat, stews and dishes that require slow simmering. Grill pan Barbeque inside, anytime Makes vegetables crispy and meats juicy with quick, high-temperature cooking. Plus the ribbed surface keeps fat and oil in the grooves and away from your food. Wok Rotate food in and out of high heat Fry quickly while stirring – the sloping sides are designed for fresh, crispy stirfry because you can move your food to and from the high heat of the bottom. SKÄNKA 6-piece cookware set 1,590 THB Aluminium with non-stick coating. Comprises: Pot with lid (3L & 5L), saucepan (1L) and frying pan (Ø28cm). ÖNSKVÄRD pot with lid 249 THB Stainless steel. Ø21, H12.5cm. Holds 3L. SELECTING COOKWARE Sauteuse Part saucepan, part sauté pan Great for meaty spaghetti sauces and curries. First, fry your meat or vegetables, then add the sauce and let it all boil together. By lining up the handles you can create a small gap between the pot and lid. This prevents the water from boiling over and makes it easy to pour out the water. There are certain knives every family needs. But how do you choose a knife? Let these kitchen helpers make cooking easy for you. Things to consider • Buy the appropriate knife for the work you want it to do. • The steel is very important in a knife and should be easy to maintain. • A knife should be sturdy and feel good in the hand. • Check the tang (how far the blade goes back into the handle). The further it goes, the more stable it is. • Do you really need that special fillet knife or is it going to be a onetime use? Prolong the life of your knives • Protect your knives by storing them properly. • Rub them on a sharpener before every use to keep them in good condition. The basic knives for every new kitchen start-up The Bread knife The serrated edge makes it ideal for cutting the perfect slice.

Additional space to put the dishes, especially for buffets. Try foldable tables, or sidetables with castors. Door gifts? How about growing some seedlings in baking cups to give away.

Get dressed and party ready ;) and have fun! Tips for being the perfect guest When you receive an invitation, it’s basic courtesy to let your host know whether you’ll be attending and/or bringing someone (and if they are kids). Even if the invitation didn’t indicate an RSVP date, you should still respond. If you did not RSVP for a guest, it’s bad manners to show up with one in tow. Being too early can be an inconvenience for your hosts who could still be trying to get ready. Being late is not fashionable. If you are going to arrive late, you should call ahead. Arriving about 10 minutes before the party start time is acceptable. Do your best to join in the party and be engaged in conversations and activities. Get to know the other guests and have fun. If the host has planned some games, take part. Drink responsibly and never leave a mess. Don’t outstay your welcome. If the invitation states a time for the party to finish, you should offer to help with the cleanup and if the host declines, thank them and say goodnight. 10. Play background music for a nice atmosphere. You may like to bring along a gift but should never expect the guest to open the gift or if it’s food/wine, don’t expect it to be used on the same night. Know when to help, when to stay out of the way and when to step in to give the host a break.
