Explore the Enchanting World of Maileg Mice and Miniature Furniture
Welcome to the whimsical world of Maileg — the beloved Danish toy brand that turns a little matchbox into a bed and a mouse into a lifelong companion. At Hazel & Fawn, we carry a carefully curated selection of Maileg mice, bunnies, dollhouse furniture, and accessories, all crafted with the heirloom quality and storybook charm the brand is known for.
Founded in 1999 by husband-and-wife duo Dorthe and Erik Mailil, Maileg (pronounced "My-lie") creates limited-edition toys that are as collectible as they are playable. Each piece is made with natural materials, hand-finished details, and a timeless aesthetic that fits just as well on a nursery shelf as it does in the middle of an imaginative afternoon adventure.
The Maileg Mouse Family
Every Maileg collection starts with a mouse. The iconic mouse family comes in a range of sizes — from the tiniest baby mice tucked into matchboxes, to little brothers and sisters, all the way up to Mum & Dad or Grandma & Grandpa. Each mouse arrives dressed for a story, whether that's a camping trip, a royal ball, or a cozy night in. Mix, match, and build a whole family over time — that's the magic of Maileg.
Dollhouse Furniture & Accessories
No mouse house is complete without the right furniture. Our Maileg dollhouse accessories range from vintage-inspired beds and kitchen sets to tricycles, wagons, and seasonal adventure gear. New collections drop each season, so there's always something fresh to add to your little one's world.
Heirloom Quality, Made to Last
Maileg toys are made from organic cotton, linen, wool, and wood — materials chosen for their quality, safety, and sustainability. Each piece is packaged in a reusable box or pouch and designed to be passed down through generations. These aren't toys you replace; they're toys you keep.

FAQ
How do you pronounce Maileg? Maileg is pronounced "My-lie" — it's a tricky one! The name comes from the founders' surname, Mailil, and reflects the brand's Danish roots.
What ages are Maileg toys designed for? Most Maileg toys are recommended for children ages 3 and up due to small parts. However, many adult collectors love them too — they make beautiful display pieces and thoughtful gifts.
Are Maileg toys collectible? Yes! Maileg releases limited-edition collections each season, and designs are retired or updated over time, making older pieces genuine collectibles. Once a design sells out, it's often gone for good.
What sizes do Maileg mice come in?
The Maileg mouse family spans three generations, each in a different size:
- Baby mice — the tiniest of the family, typically tucked into matchboxes. About 2.5 inches tall.
- Little Brother & Little Sister — slightly larger than babies, around 4 inches tall.
- Big Brother & Big Sister — the older siblings, roughly 4.5–5 inches tall.
- Mum & Dad — the parents of the family, about 6 inches tall.
- Grandma & Grandpa — the same height as Mum & Dad, but Grandpa has a rounder tummy and both grandparents wear shoes, which makes them easy to spot!
Each mouse comes dressed for a particular story — camping trips, royal balls, beach days, and more — and their clothing is labeled specifically for their size.
What size furniture fits which Maileg mouse — and which dollhouse?
This is the question we get most often, and it trips up even seasoned Maileg collectors! Here's the breakdown:
Maileg labels their furniture in four sizes. To make things a little more confusing, older pieces (pre-2023) use different naming than newer releases — so you may see both terms on products you're shopping:
| Furniture size | Also called | Fits these mice | Best dollhouse match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baby (new) / My (older) | "My size" | Baby mice, My Rabbits | Mouse Hole Farmhouse, Maileg Castle & Hall |
| Mouse (new) / Micro (older) | "Micro size" | Little Brother/Sister, Big Brother/Sister, Mum & Dad, Micro Bunnies & Rabbits | Mouse Hole Farmhouse, Maileg Castle & Hall, House of Miniature |
| Miniature | "Size 1 / Mini" | Size 1 & 2 Bunnies & Rabbits, Teddy family | House of Miniature (this furniture is too large for the Castle and Farmhouse) |
A few things worth knowing:
- Mouse/Micro furniture is the most versatile — it fits the widest range of mice and works in both the smaller Castle/Farmhouse and the larger House of Miniature.
- Baby/My furniture fits 1:12 scale dollhouses — including the Mouse Hole Farmhouse, the Maileg Castle & Hall, and the IKEA Flisat house.
- Miniature furniture is significantly larger and is really only at home in the House of Miniature. It will look oversized in the Castle or Farmhouse.
- Maileg accessories (food, kitchen items, etc.) tend to run slightly larger than the furniture — this is by design, to make them easier for small hands to handle.

How do you wash a Maileg mouse? Maileg recommends hand-washing mice in cold water with mild soap, or machine-washing in a garment bag on a gentle cold cycle. Air dry flat, then gently massage the mouse back into shape once dry.
What materials are Maileg toys made from? Maileg uses natural and recycled materials including organic cotton, linen, wool, and wood. Toys are produced with eco-friendly dyes and water conservation practices, and packaged in reusable boxes or pouches.
Can Maileg be shipped to all states? Maileg products cannot be shipped to PA or OH due to distribution restrictions. All other US states are welcome — and orders ship in 1–2 business days!
