A cherry tree in blossom, its canopy carved in layers and spreading wider than the trunk is tall. The pink is not the pink of a real cherry tree. It is the pink of a cherry tree in a picture book, which is the one children are looking for.

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 canopy, trunk, and base are one piece, so there is no joint to fail where the weight sits.

Who it's for

For the parent
It suits a family that wants one beautiful piece to build a season around.
For the educator
It anchors a spring nature shelf, and set beside the evergreens it gives children a clear way to talk about trees that blossom and trees that do not.
For the gift-giver
It makes a striking gift on its own, and it is the piece most likely to stay out on a shelf between play sessions.

Ways to play.

The animals gather underneath it, which is what children do with it first. Set it beside the house and the fences and the scene reads as spring. Pair it with the spruce and the birch and you can talk about which trees flower and which stay green.

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.
