Maileg Mouse - Big Brother

The activity supports skill development and is wonderful for your child's well-being:

• Excellent for developing your child's empathy skills.
• Perfect for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge. This benefits your child's social skills.
• Strengthens social skills, which, according to elementary school teachers and childcare professionals, are more important for children to practise than learning grammar and division.

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

Playing with dolls, play sets, face paint, or dressing up are all different ways of role playing. Role play is key in your child's development. While role playing, your child strengthens their ability to think creatively in terms of their own identity. How does a horse or a knight talk? And what can I do if I'm a dragon or a cowboy? Having these sorts of ponderings while playing supports your child's social skills. Role playing helps children strengthen their understanding of the world they live in. When role playing, your child gets the chance to experiment with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction.

Do you know Maileg?

Maileg was started in 1999 by Dorthe og Erik Mailil, who set out to make toys with soul, personality, and high durability as a counterbalance plastic toys and throw-away culture. The name Maileg is a mix of the founders' surname and the Danish word for play. Based in Herning, Denmark, Maileg makes animal figures, Christmas elves, and accessories that radiate nostalgia and Nordic simplicity.

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

Maileg is all about 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 meant to be played with - 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 decorations to our customers regardless.
