Seven small toadstools in red, orange and yellow growing from a green mound. It is the floor of the wood rather than anything standing on it, and it fills the space between the trees that otherwise stays empty.

Why it lasts.

The mushrooms are carved as part of the mound rather than set into holes, so none of them can be pulled out or lost. Each cap is painted by hand, so the spots differ from one set to the next.

Who it's for

For the parent
It suits a family that wants the small details on a woodland shelf rather than another animal.
For the educator
It works as a sorting and counting group on a nature shelf, and the different caps and colors give children something concrete to compare.
For the gift-giver
It makes a good autumn gift, and several pieces at once feels like a real present rather than a token.

Ways to play.

Scatter them at the feet of the trees and the woodland floor stops being a bare surface. Seven is enough to count, sort by color, and still have some left over, which is more use to a young child than a tidy pair would be. Set them beside the big toadstool and the difference in scale does the work of a whole conversation.

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

Wipe clean with a dry cloth, or one that is barely damp. Never soak or submerge it in water, and do not leave it wet. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Store it indoors somewhere dry, and stand the taller pieces upright rather than resting them on a painted edge. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years, and young children should be supervised during play.
