Mini Mocka brings heirloom charm to the Christmas toy list with Made For Little Worlds

Children’s Vintage Dress-Up Playroom

Mini Mocka has launched Made For Little Worlds, its third collection, arriving in time for Christmas shopping  and the long summer break. The range of wooden toys and children’s furniture looks back to the classic, slow play pieces many parents grew up with, and gives them a contemporary update. 

The collection is finished in a soft palette of cream, sage and blush, with playful proportions and considered  details. It is built around the idea that children don’t just see furniture, they see possibility: a bookshelf  becomes a dollhouse, a wardrobe becomes a stage, and an everyday object becomes the start of a story. 

“We wanted this collection to have that nostalgic feeling of the toys you remember from childhood, but with a  look that feels right in a modern home. The use of softer tones such as cream and sage was a really important  part of that – it brings warmth, character and a sense of familiarity, while the considered shapes give each  piece a fresh feel,” said Heidi, Category Manager at Mocka. 

  • “Most importantly, we designed everything to be genuinely fun to play with, without parents having to hide it  away when playtime is over.” 
  • Gift-worthy highlights 
  • • Carry Me Mini Dollhouse 14 Piece Set (AU$99.99): a portable dollhouse with a carry handle, made to  travel from room to room or to the grandparents’ for the holidays
  • • Cottage Scalloped Kitchen – Cream (AU$179.99): a vintage-inspired play kitchen with a softly  scalloped finish, with a matching Cottage Scalloped Fridge (AU$139.99) 
  • • Spinning Dressup Wardrobe (AU$249.99): a rotating wardrobe with hanging space for costumes, a  shoe shelf, accessory knobs and a side mirror 
  • • Mocka Retro Phone (AU$39.99): a rotary-style phone that parents will recognise as much as kids enjoy  it, and the most affordable piece in the range 

Made For Little Worlds is available now at mocka.com.au.
