A dark green spruce carved in tiers on a short bare trunk, standing on its own small base. The tiers are cut deep enough to throw a shadow, which is what stops an evergreen from reading as a flat triangle.

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

Who it's for

For the parent
It suits a family that wants a wood that works in every season rather than only in spring.
For the educator
It sits on a nature shelf year round, and beside the bare trees it makes the difference between evergreen and deciduous easy to show rather than explain.
For the gift-giver
It makes an easy add-on to a larger gift, and several together are more useful than one.

Ways to play.

Evergreens are what make a wood look like winter, so stand a few of these behind the bare trees when the season turns. It works in a Christmas scene and in an ordinary forest without being decorated for either.

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.
