About the Brand
If you've ever watched a child tuck a tiny mouse into its matchbox bed — pulling up the blanket, whispering goodnight — you'll understand why Maileg (pronounced "my-lie") has such a devoted following. These beautifully made Danish treasures, with their little mice nestled in matchboxes, have a way of capturing hearts both little and big, and we'll happily admit plenty of grown-ups start collections of their own.
Maileg has been designing its charming little universe in Denmark since 1999 — the name joins founder Dorthe Mailil's surname with leg, the Danish word for "play." What makes Maileg so special is the storytelling: each mouse family has its own adventures, its own outfits, and its own beautifully detailed accessories, all made to be loved, shared, and handed down for years.
How do you pronounce Maileg? It's "my-lie." The Danish brand was founded in 1999 by designer Dorthe Mailil.
What themed Maileg collections are there? So many to discover and collect. Take the mice camping with their own tent, bonfire, and sleeping bags; build a royal court with the king, queen, prince, princess, and royal twins (and their pumpkin carriage); or gather the beach mice and dance mice. There's also the much-loved puppy family, plus rabbits and bunnies and soft toys to round out the world.
What are the Maileg mouse sizes? The mouse family includes baby, little brother and little sister, big brother and big sister, mum and dad, and grandma and grandpa — so you can build a whole family across generations, mixing and matching characters and outfits as your little one's collection grows.
Where can I buy Maileg 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.
Are Maileg toys collectible? Wonderfully so. With themed worlds, seasonal releases, and a huge cast of characters, Maileg pieces are treasured by children and grown-up collectors alike — true heirlooms to pass down.
From a single baby mouse to a whole royal court, every Maileg piece is a doorway to gentle, imaginative play. Start a family, pitch a campsite, throw a royal ball — and watch the stories grow for years.
