Playing dress-up and playing with dolls, play sets, animals, and face paint are all ways of role playing. Role play is an important part of your child's development. When role playing, your child learns to think creatively in terms of their own identity. How does a horse or a ninja talk? And what can I do if I'm a giant or a queen? Having these kinds of thoughts while playing benefits your child's social skills. Playing with different roles helps children expand their awareness of the world around them. Through role play, your child gets the chance to learn about boundaries, rules, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation.

Do you know Maileg?

Maileg was created in 1999 by Dorthe og Erik Mailil, who set out to design toys with soul, personality, and high durability as a counterbalance to fast trends 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 designs toy figures and accessories that radiate ""hygge"" and Scandinavian design.

Maileg's dollhouses, mice, and elves 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 through years of play. Your child gets to form a heartfelt and close bond with their toys and the adorable little mice and elves.

Maileg emphasises high quality in the details and materials 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.
