Collection: Rabbits & Bunnies
Ears up, ears down — that's the secret! It's the sweetest little detail, and once you know it, you'll spot the difference every time: ears up means it's a rabbit, ears down means it's a bunny. These soft, snuggly friends are some of the most-loved characters in the whole Maileg world, and they come in a whole family of sizes.
Beautifully made from a soft cotton and linen mix, Maileg's rabbits and bunnies range from big, huggable bedtime friends right down to the tiny Micro and My sizes made to play alongside the mice. Pick a favourite, add to the family, and watch a little world grow.
What's the difference between a Maileg rabbit and a bunny?
It's all in the ears: ears up means rabbit, ears down means bunny. Maileg generally describes bunnies as the girls and rabbits as the boys, though in play they can be any character your child dreams up.
What sizes do Maileg rabbits and bunnies come in?
They come in Size 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Micro, and My — from large, cuddly friends right down to the tiny sizes made to join the mouse world. Our rabbit and bunny size guide walks through every size.
Can Maileg rabbits and bunnies share furniture with the mice?
Yes! Micro bunnies are the same height as little brother and sister mice, so their furniture and accessories are interchangeable. Micro rabbits are a touch taller thanks to their ears, but they fit the same pieces. Shop our mouse-sized furniture for both.
Which Maileg house is right for rabbits and bunnies?
The larger rabbits and bunnies are made for the 1:6 House of Miniature and its miniature-sized furniture, while the little Micro and My sizes fit right into the mouse world.
Where can I buy Maileg rabbits and bunnies in Canada?
Right here at The Playful Peacock. We're a Canadian, mom-run shop with one of the country's most-loved Maileg collections, and we ship across Canada, hand-packed with care.

The Handmade Difference
The Playful Peacock’s toys are built with quality and care to last for generations. All of the toys are safe and made with individualized love and attention using a high-caliber of materials and finishes that do not include any harmful additives. Our toys will quickly become an heirloom through their high-quality and endless enjoyment.

Materials Matter
Plastic toys are typically mass-produced and easily breakable. These toys can contribute to sweatshops, unfair labour conditions and pollution in general.
While wooden toys are a step in the right direction, not all wooden toys are made the same. There are many wooden dupes to be aware of cheap, mass-produced wooden toys that are just as harmful as plastic! For example, softwood and plywood can chip and splinter easily, while non-handcrafted wooden toys often are filled with harmful toxic paints, finishes, and sealants.
Consciously opting for ethical, handcrafted wooden toys (renewable wood is even better) is safer for your child, is way more dependable and a kinder contributor to our already fragile planet.
The manufacturing process our makers use considers Mother Earth first through strict FSC Certifications, non-toxic paint, and planet-friendly materials across every single product. After placing an order, you will receive your newly beloved toy in 99% plastic-free, biodegradable, recyclable and compostable packaging, down to the stickers and tape.

The Right Toy At The Right Time
Children are naturally drawn to play toys that they can master and that is right for their particular stage of development.
With a wide range of toys available for kids ages 0-1, 1-2, 2-3 and 3+, you can ensure the toy is safe, age-appropriate, and developmentally appropriate, too. The majority of our toys focus on fun and subtle learning, and open-ended play, while being Montessori approved.

Ethical Toys Making A Difference
We are a purpose-first brand and a business second.
With a deep awareness that the toy industry must do better, we are committed to our part through advocacy for a range of social justice causes, environmental advancement and stringent criteria for makers. We are changemakers and give back through every purchase by donating meals to children in need across 26 Indigenous communities within Canada.
