Maileg Mouse - Papa, Brown Checked Shirt

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

• Benefits the ability to feel care and compassion.
• Excellent for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to lead. This develops your child's empathy and ability to work with others.
• Strengthens social skills, which, according to childcare professionals and teachers, are more important for students to practise than learning about math and historical events.

Measures 15 cm.
Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.

Role play with dolls, dress-up costumes, or play sets teaches your child to think creatively about their own identity. What are my abilities as a ninja or a dragon? How does a doctor or a unicorn talk? Such thoughts benefit your child's social skills. Through role playing, your child is able to experiment with rules, boundaries, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction, and this strengthens their awareness of the world they live in.

Do you know Maileg?

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

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

Maileg is all about 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 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.
