When I purchase a toy I want something that is unique, long-lasting and able to be played with in multiple ways, in other words, I want a keeper toy. Finding fun and high quality toys can be a challenge, though I think I may have found a great source in the online store My Little Mousie.
My Little Mousie - Review
Ina Finkbeiner (I love that name) is the Vancouver mom who founded My Little Mousie. While Ina was growing up in Germany, she played with toys from Sigikid, a German toy brand renowned for taking toy making very seriously.
When Ina became a mother, she wanted to give her own little mousie, Anna, some of the same delightful, high-quality toys she remembered from her childhood. Ina soon discovered that these premium German toys were not available in Canada, and so she created My Little Mousie, Canada’s only Sigikid online shop.
I recently ordered a couple toys from My Little Mousie that I am confident will still be in great shape for my children’s children! These toys aren’t the disposable, plastic, one-trick-only type of toy that may be littering your playroom right now. I was impressed and captivated by both of the Sigikid products I received from My Little Mousie. The beautiful details as well as the premium quality and craftmanship of the Sigikid toys reflect the 150 year history of the company and their core values: 1. Be yourself! 2. Discover your imagination! 3. Be cuddly! 4. Be inspired by beautiful designs! 5. Stay curious!
The Memory Game – Animal Twins:
The Memory Game – Animal Twins ($24.95) has 14 pairs of adorable animals that are painted, not glued, on to wooden tiles that fit perfectly into a child’s hand. I enjoyed playing memory games when I was a child, and as I naturally gravitate towards wooden toys, this game was an obvious choice for me. My daughter enjoys making all of the matches, as well as laying the tiles out in a big line or stacking them up. I also saw her simply studying the pictures on the tiles and then engaging the characters in creative dialogue. Love it!
Finger Puppet Set – Seppl, Punch, Crocodile:
Finger Puppet Set – Seppl, Punch, Crocodile ($29.95) contains three beautifully designed finger puppets that work well on fingers, both big and small. Each puppet has the head of a miniature stuffed animal and is dressed in a meticulously stitched outfit. These are, by far, the best finger puppets I have ever encountered. My kids definitely appreciate all of the little details and enjoy interacting with these gorgeous little characters.
My Little Mousie - Pros
- My Little Mousie only offers high quality toys that will last and inspire for years.
- All plush and fabric toys sold on My Little Mousie are washable – yay!
- If you order from My Little Mousie by noon on a business day, they will ship the product the same day. (My order arrived via Canada Post in one day!)
- The My Little Mousie website is very easy to navigate and makes shopping fun.
- The personal touches, such as the handwritten note and the little chocolates in my package, were appreciated, and are a reminder that My Little Mousie was created by another mom to bring joy through great toys.
My Little Mousie - Cons
- My Little Mousie offers a great selection of toys, but being a relatively new store, it doesn’t carry the full line of Sigikid in every category. For example, Sigikid has three different sets of finger puppets but only one set is available from My Little Mousie.
Would I Buy From My Little Mousie Again?
Most definitely! The toys and products are such high quality and the service is amazingly quick.
