What is Maileg ?

  

We have been working with Maileg since the beginning of the website so it was important to share one of our best-selling brands which offers magnificent toys for hours of fun and imagination.
Here then, a little article to discover the Danish brand that is all the rage!

In a world bustling with lights, bells and whistles, where new stories are continually imposed on us.


Maileg is a world where matchboxes can serve as beds for mice, where princesses make perfect tea companions, and where adventures can be had on a friendly walk in the forest.


Everyone loves Maileg toys, and for good reason. Maileg ...pronounced "My Lie" in Danish, offers beautiful toys created to inspire our children's favorite stories.


Maileg toys help children explore the pure and simple wonders of imagination. Appreciated for their comforting personality, Maileg toys demonstrate playfulness and charm in every detail.


Particularly the adorable little Maileg mice for which they have become famous. The range includes mini mice, dollhouses, furniture and interior decoration for homes. Everything is made with the best materials and above all, with love.

Who is Maileg ?

Dorthe Mailil is a Danish designer and illustrator who lives and works in Herning, Denmark. But is also the owner and creative director of Maileg , her toy brand fuses modern Scandinavian design with storybook whimsy and meticulous attention to detail.

Following her childhood joy for play and imagination, Dorthe and her husband Erik founded Maileg in 1999, combining their last name “Mailil” with “leg”, the Danish word for game.

His wish was to produce unique and quality products. The products are primarily toys and decorative items, all created with intrinsic design value.

The intention is to spread joy and inspire children to play imaginatively. The products are original and feature an aesthetic design that extends the life of each product. We appreciate that items are passed down from generation to generation.

 

How to play with Maileg ?

Maileg toys are perfect for small world play, especially the mouse line due to their unique size.

They add a whimsical, almost magical touch to your child's little world, allowing them to immerse themselves in their creative and imaginative play.

To help your child's imagination, Maileg has created many different environments. You have the Hiker Magnet Mouse - Big Brother as well as the Hiker Magnet Mouse with a cabin, you also have the Little Brother Mouse With Beach Cabin, the Little Sister Mouse With Beach Cabin and the Big Sister Mouse With Beach Cabin ; but you can also create a family with several little mice!

The advantage of these little creatures is that they can accompany you everywhere! They do not take up space so even when you go on a trip it is always possible to slip them into the backpack to continue their adventures.

In addition, the brand offers wonderful furniture to decorate a doll's house, so you can also create a small house or a castle to house your little mice and make them live like real humans.

To keep these toys as long as possible, it is necessary to pay close attention to the washing instructions. Generally these are toys that can be washed at 30° but some can be washed by hand!

 

How to start collecting?

To properly start a Maileg collection, you need to choose 1 or 2 small mice. We think it is necessary to give children the choice because each little mouse embodies a different character which more closely represents your child's passion and environment.

It might be the Little Sister Ballerina Mouse, because they just started dance lessons. You can then add the Giselle Dancing Mouse, the Little Brother Matchbox Dancing Mouse which gives your child the opportunity to deepen their imaginative play by creating a whole world of dance and movement.

Or maybe he's about to become a big brother or sister? You can start with a big brother or sister mouse, then a little boy or girl mouse. You can then add items such as Deckchair - Micro or Stroller, Micro - Powder. This will allow them to play and immerse themselves in their new world of big brother or sister, in order to reproduce the family environment.

When the mouse family begins to grow and your child spends his time inventing his own little world, it is interesting to invest in the castle or doll's house and little by little add all the necessary furniture. So you will have a beautiful Maileg collection!
