Maileg Mouse in Matchbox - Big Brother (Light)

The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Stimulates your child's ability to feel empathy and care for other people.
• Excellent for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to lead. This benefits your child's ability to cooperate and show empathy.
• Inspires your child to practise social skills, like being able to wait their turn, lose, trade toys, or listen, being tolerant and patient, and making an effort to read the situation.

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

Role play is an important part of your child's development, because role play strengthens your child’s 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 giant or a doctor? Having all these reflections while playing benefits children's social skills. Playing with different roles helps children expand their awareness of the world around them. Through role playing, your child is able to experiment with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction.

Do you know Maileg?

Maileg was founded in 1999 by Dorthe og Erik Mailil, who set out to make durable toys with personality and soul as a counterbalance plastic toys 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 toy figures and accessories that radiate nostalgia and Nordic simplicity.

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

Maileg puts a strong focus on high quality in the details, materials and expressions of their toys. Their designs speak to both young and old playful souls. Not all Maileg products are made to be played with - some of the elves, mice, 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.
