A steep-roofed cottage with a tall arched window and a door that lifts out. It is shallow from front to back because it is built as scenery rather than as a building. Stand it at the back of a scene and everything in front of it becomes a village.

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 that already has animals and wants the one piece that turns them into a village.
For the educator
It anchors a small-world or storytelling shelf, and the lift-out door gives younger children a repeatable action to return to.
For the gift-giver
It makes a substantial gift on its own, and it gives a child's existing animals somewhere to live.

Ways to play.

Stand it at the back of a scene and run the fences out from it. Take the door out and the animals can go inside, which is usually the first thing a child tries. Put it beside the trees and the flower and you have a village.

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.
