Maileg Chef Mouse - incl. Stockpot & Spoon

Sometimes, mice just don't have the energy to peel chestnuts, braise mealworms, and fry up a snail omelette.

Enter everyone's beloved master chef mouse, René Roquefort de la Squeak! With his stock pot and spoon, Monsieur de la Squeak is ready to create the most wonderful, mouth-watering dishes from whatever is in the pantry.
He won Master Chef Whisks & Whiskers Edition last year and is now a Royal Warrant holder. He also collaborates with the famous pâtisserie La Souris Sucrée. But he's never to busy to lend a helping paw when the other mice need some help with dinner.

Here, important skills are stimulated, which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Strengthens your child's ability to experience care and empathy for other people.
• Ideal for group role play, where little ones practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.
• Encourages your child to practise social skills, such as being able to lose, listen, trade toys, or wait their turn, being tolerant and patient, and making an effort to read the situation.

Measures 13 cm.
Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.

Playing with dolls, play sets, face paint, or dressing up are all ways of role playing. Role play is an important part of your child's development. During role play, your child learns to think creatively about their own identity. What are my superpowers as a sword fighter or a giant? How does a queen or a turtle talk? Such reflections stimulate your child's social skills. Through role playing, your child gets the chance to test boundaries, rules, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation, and this benefits their understanding of their own world and daily life.

Do you know Maileg?

Maileg was started in 1999 by Erik og Dorthe Mailil, who set out to make durable toys with lots of soul and personality as a counterbalance plastic toys and throw-away culture. The name Maileg is a combination of the Danish word for ""play"" and the founders' surname. Based in Herning, Denmark, Maileg makes toy figures and accessories full of nostalgia and Nordic simplicity.

Maileg's elves, mice, and figures are made with immersive, calm play in mind. It's all about imagining worlds and immersing yourself in stories with toys whose quality and appearance will last for years. Your child gets to form a close, heartfelt bond with their toys and the adorable little mice and elves.

Maileg emphasises high quality in the details, materials and expressions of their toys. Their designs speak to both children and grown-ups. 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 children's imaginations that we're happy to offer even the more delicate, display-only pieces to our customers regardless.
