Maileg Baby Mouse in Matchbox - Blue
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

What makes this product special
Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.
Playing with dolls, play sets, face paint, or dressing up are all different ways of engaging in role play. Role play is key in your child's development. While role playing, your child is inspired to think creatively about their own identity. What can I do as a knight or a giant? How does a circus performer or a horse talk? These kinds of reflections stimulate children's social skills. Through role play, your child can experiment with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction, and this strengthens their sense of their own world and daily life.
Supports the development of essential skills that are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Develops the ability to experience empathy and care.
- Ideal for group role play, where little ones learn about taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to early years educators, are more important for students to practise than learning letters and numbers.

Do you know Maileg?
Maileg was started in 1999 by Dorthe og Erik Mailil, who set out to make durable toys with lots of soul and personality as a counterbalance to fast trends and throw-away culture. The name Maileg is a mix of the Danish word for ""play"" and the founders' surname. Based in Herning, Denmark, Maileg designs animal figures, Christmas elves, and accessories full of Nordic simplicity and ""hygge"".Maileg's elves, mice, and figures are made with immersive, calm play in mind. It's all about imagining worlds and telling stories with toys whose quality and appearance will last for many years. Your child gets to form a heartfelt and close bond with their toys and the adorable little mice and elves.
Maileg puts a strong focus on high quality in the materials and details of their toys. Their designs speak to both young and old playful souls. Not all Maileg products are toys - some of the mice, elves, and other figurines are purely decorative. But the Maileg universe is so great at sparking the imaginations of children and other playful souls that we're happy to offer even the more delicate, display-only pieces to our customers regardless.
