# Kid-Drawn Stuffed Toys Ikea's 'Sagoskatt' Toys are Replicas of Real Kids' Drawings By Joey Haar | Published 2016-10-17 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sagoskatt References: [fastcodesign](https://www.fastcodesign.com/3064657/wanted/ikea-lets-kids-design-its-new-toys-and-theyre-delightful) & [ikea](http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/00307811/) Ikea's new 'Sagoskatt' collection features the work of some of the world's most creative and uninhibited designers: children. But rather than a set of lamps or chairs like other Ikea products, Sagoskatt is a collection of stuffed toys, making its childish inspiration a more fitting one. The Sagoskatt line consists of 10 stuffed toys, each of which is a spitting image of drawings submitted by kids from around the world. To get the drawings, Ikea invited any and all kids to enter submissions, resulting in a total pool of over 52,000 drawings. From these, Ikea selected the 10 that now make up Sagoskatt. A portion of the sales from the Sagoskatt toys will be donated to the [Ikea Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-sandlpare), a charity for the benefit of children that's administered by the [Swedish flat-pack furniture retailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-revealed). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Crowdsourced Design:** Exploring the potential of involving customers or specific target groups in the design process can lead to unique and innovative product offerings. - **Personalized Products:** Creating customizable products based on customer input, such as replicating children's drawings, can provide a personalized and meaningful experience for consumers. - **Social Good Partnerships:** Collaborating with charitable organizations and incorporating a social impact element into product sales can create a positive brand image and contribute to meaningful causes. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** The toy industry can benefit from implementing crowdsourcing methods to involve children and create unique and engaging products. - **Home Furnishings:** The home furnishings industry can explore the concept of personalized products, such as incorporating children's artwork into furniture designs. - **Charitable Organizations:** Charitable organizations can form partnerships with retail brands to create innovative product lines that support their causes and engage consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wildlife Conservation Decor Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-sandlpare.md) - [Charitable Pet Product Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utsdd-collection.md) - [Creative Home Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-home.md) - [Space-Themed Home Decor Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aftonsparv.md) - [Playful Learning Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-open-house.md) - [Kid-Designed Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-philia.md) - [Uplifting Pet Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utsadd.md) - [Plush-Starring Sitcom-Style Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-in-stitches.md) - [Asia-Honoring Artisanal Handmade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvinn.md)
