A pale spreading tree under a canopy of deep turquoise, with a hollow at the base and a toadstool growing beside the roots. Nothing in a real wood is this color, which is the point of it.

Why it lasts.

The canopy is carved in layers so the turquoise has somewhere to pool and lighten, which is what keeps an invented color from looking flat. The trunk, the hollow, and the toadstool are all cut from the same block.

Who it's for

For the parent
It suits a family that wants one tree that is clearly not from anywhere real.
For the educator
It anchors a storytelling shelf rather than a nature one, and its invented color is a useful way to separate imagined places from observed ones.
For the gift-giver
It makes a substantial gift for a child who has enough ordinary trees and wants a strange one.

Ways to play.

Set it apart from the ordinary trees so it reads as the one that is different, which is how children will use it anyway. The hollow at the base gives the smallest animals somewhere to shelter, and the toadstool marks the spot.

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.
