This handmade wooden field mouse is a EU certified toy, but it could also be used as a collectible, nature table element or decoration, even as a little gift to adults. Its delicate artistic design sets it apart from mass produced chunky cartoonish wooden creatures.

We have designed and carved it to teach appreciation of craftsmanship and beauty, to open a child’s imagination, yet the toy is still quite realistic and captures the distinct field mouse shape, color and pattern.

Its size and style make it a natural addition to our growing collection of woodland animal toys.

EDUCATIONAL AND PLAY VALUE

If your child is charmed by heartwarming stories, you can offer them many folk and authored tales featuring Field Mouse as a character. Play is immensely enriched by literature, and children love to act out fiction they have heard or read, and even create their own while playing and enjoying the warmth of wood in their hands. Such open-ended play helps grow their imagination, thinking and speaking skills in a natural and delightful way.

If your child is a dedicated student of nature, you could use Field Mouse to introduce him to a habitat which is the home to many other species and show them the dynamics and interconnectedness of nature, the importance even of its smallest creatures. Thus you could smoothly and naturally branch out to many other topics. The lessons learned will provide new scenarios for open-ended play and make your children come up with new questions and passion to explore nature further. Thus they are growing up with the best motivation to pursue education - curiosity. Their education will be further supported by the rich background knowledge they are growing while joyfully busy with their most important work - playing.

We have thoughtfully designed this toy to meet the needs of parents and educators who might wish to use a wooden animal figurine for different ends which fit into different educational traditions, methods and principles.

CONVENIENCE

Field Mouse is tiny, and it easily fits into a child’s hand and pocket, so it can be one of the easiest to take anywhere a child goes to keep them friendly company and engage them in happy meaningful play away from electronic devices.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not soak in water. Wash each toy separately with soapy water with some vinegar. Rinse as quickly as possible. Immediately dry with a towel. Let air dry.
For disinfection you can use rubbing alcohol. We recommend spiritus aethylicus for medical purposes.
Do not put on or near heaters. Do not keep under direct sunshine for too long. Moisture and heat can cause warping and cracking in wood, so wooden products should not be exposed to these for too long.
When toys feel too dry, they need to be oiled and / or waxed. We recommend linseed oil and beeswax waxes. Other oils and waxes could be used too: mineral oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil. Vegans can use carnauba wax instead of beeswax.

ETHICS

This handmade wooden toy was designed and produced in Bulgaria by our small company of two friends. We are really grateful for the opportunity to earn our living by doing what we love and being useful. We hope soon to be able to share our skills and provide employment for other people and keep our small town alive in the times of mass migration to bigger cities and other countries.

We use wood from sustainably managed forests, and safety certified paint and oil. We spend these materials in an economical way because we do not like waste. By buying ethically produced toys that can be passed on for generations to come, you are helping preserve the environment and keep a small town alive.

AGE AND SAFETY: CE certified as safe for children 3+
