An orange clownfish with two white bands and black-tipped fins, small enough to close a hand around. It is the fish most children can already name, which makes it the easy way into an ocean scene.

Why it lasts.

Solid linden with non-toxic paints, cut by machine and then sanded and painted by hand in a small family workshop. The bands are painted rather than printed, so they wear with the wood instead of peeling off it.

Who it's for

For the parent
It suits a family starting an ocean collection with the fish a child already knows by name.
For the educator
It belongs in an ocean or reef basket, and its familiar markings make it a good starting point before the less known species.
For the gift-giver
It makes a good first piece of an ocean collection, and an easy add-on for a child who already has the coral.

Ways to play.

Balance it among the corals and the shell house and the reef takes shape around it. Line it up with the discus and the butterfly fish and children sort by shape and marking. It is the fish they can already name, which makes it the one to start a collection with.

Details

Materials & construction

Every Mako toy is cut to shape and then sanded and painted by hand in a small family workshop in Serbia. The wood is solid linden, chosen because it is light enough for a child to carry and close-grained enough to hold a carved edge. Because each piece is finished by hand, the grain and the depth of color vary slightly from one to the next, and no two are exactly alike.

Finishes are non-toxic. Color is worked into the wood rather than laid over it, so the grain still shows through, and where a piece is dark it is stained rather than coated.

The scenery is built as scenery. Houses and barns are shallow standing fronts rather than enclosed buildings, because they are made to sit at the back of a scene and give the animals somewhere to be. That shallowness is a design decision rather than a shortcut.

Care & storage

Despite the subject, this is not a bath toy. Keep it out of water entirely. Wipe clean with a dry cloth, or one that is barely damp, and never soak or submerge it. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and store it indoors somewhere dry. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years, and young children should be supervised during play.
