A discus fish, almost as tall as it is long, painted in soft pink shading to deep plum. The round profile is the point, and it looks nothing like the other fish in the set.

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 color is graded across the body by hand, so no two are shaded quite the same way.

Who it's for

For the parent
It suits a family building an ocean collection beyond the obvious species.
For the educator
It belongs in a reef basket, and its unusual round profile is a clear prompt for talking about how body shape differs between fish.
For the gift-giver
It makes a small gift for a child already building a reef, and it pairs naturally with the clownfish and the corals.

Ways to play.

Set it among the corals with the other reef fish, where its round profile makes it the odd one out in any sorting game. It is the piece to add once a child has the clownfish and wants something less expected.

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.
