A tall toadstool with an arched door cut into the stem and a cap leaning over it like a roof. This is the mushroom house that turns up on page four of the book, the one that makes a child want to know who answers.

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 door lifts free rather than swinging on a hinge, so there is no hardware to break and nothing to pinch a finger.

Who it's for

For the parent
It suits a family building a woodland shelf that needs somewhere for the small creatures to live.
For the educator
It anchors a woodland or storytelling shelf, and the lift-out door gives younger children a repeatable action that supports hiding and finding.
For the gift-giver
It makes a substantial single gift, and the door makes it more interesting than a mushroom on its own.

Ways to play.

Take the door out and the smallest animals move in. Set it beside the plain toadstool and the difference between a mushroom and a mushroom house is suddenly worth discussing. It stands nearly nine inches, so it holds its own beside the trees.

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.
