Description
The Ballet Mice in Dance Studio set is a beautifully constructed fold-out playset that transforms effortlessly from a charming mouse house into a fully equipped ballet studio. Designed with careful attention to detail, it offers multiple interactive elements while remaining compact enough for easy storage.
On one side of the studio, you will find the mice’s sleeping quarters. The bunk-style beds are complete with soft, cosy bedding, ensuring Little Brother and Little Sister can rest comfortably after a busy day of dancing. Beneath the beds sits a small drawer, ideal for storing tiny accessories or treasured belongings. This thoughtful feature adds both realism and practicality to the play experience.
On the opposite side, the rehearsal space comes to life. Open the door and fold down the dance floor to reveal a mirrored wall that reflects every graceful movement. The magnetic ballet barre is designed to hold firmly in place, allowing the mice to stretch, practise and refine their technique. This clever design detail adds a tactile element to play, encouraging children to position the characters as they rehearse.
Included in the set are two ballet mice: Little Brother and Little Sister. Each mouse is dressed in a beautifully detailed ballet costume, ready for centre stage. Their soft cotton bodies, delicate stitched features and signature slender tails give them a gentle, expressive character. They are perfectly sized for small hands, making them easy to pose and move throughout the studio.
The entire playset folds neatly closed, making it ideal for tidy storage or for taking along on visits and holidays. When closed, it resembles an illustrated keepsake box, making it just as appealing displayed on a nursery shelf as it is opened for play.
Crafted primarily from cotton and sturdy cardboard, the set balances softness with durability. The mice are filled with recycled polyester and PE pellets, giving them a pleasant weight and structure while reflecting Maileg’s thoughtful material choices.
In terms of care, the soft toy mice can be machine washed at 30°C, while the paper and cardboard elements should be surface cleaned to preserve their finish.
