Social constructivists believe that children learn through interactions with a more knowledgeable ‘other’. In fact, it’s one of the most important ways that we learn. All children enjoy quiet time alone with their toys but sometimes it’s nice to collaborate. Playing with Maileg can also be something you do together.
It allows children to explore events in their own lives, helping them to make sense of the world around them.
MAILEG MOUSE HOUSE FURNITURE FREE
The smaller, more enclosed cousin of imaginative play, in small world play children are free to imagine and narrate their own stories and dramas, all on a child-size scale. This, along with their dreamy accessories and props such as matchbox beds, camping tents and motorbikes, makes them the perfect toys for small-world play. There’s a theme of nurture and caring running through almost every Maileg character. The result is a collection of toys for girls and boys that feels at once homespun and traditional, while also having great humour and bags of fairytale magic. Buttons, bows, blankets and other items are all hand-sewn, with fabrics and materials in soft, muted colours and textures. Maileg make dolls and doll’s houses with a whimsical charm (mice who live in matchboxes and dancing bunnies who lounge on daybeds in gold tutus) and meticulous attention to detail in their clothes and accessories. Maileg was founded by the award-winning Danish illustrator and designer Dorthe Mailil and the name is a mixture of her surname and ‘leg’, the Danish word for play.
