A baby mouse dressed for a day that matters. Powder is Maileg's color name for her and it reads as a pale pink on the shelf. The gown has a cream bodice printed with coral dots and a powder pink tulle skirt gathered at a ruffled band at the waist, finished with a scalloped lace hem. The bonnet is a separate lace cap, tied under the chin with a ribbed cream ribbon. She is a Baby mouse in Maileg's family sizing, 4.33 in from bonnet to hem, which means the My size furniture suits her as well as the mouse-sized pieces, and she arrives in a printed flowered box with a window cut in the front, so she can be handed over without wrapping.

Her face is stitched on both sides. Turn her one way and the eye is open and she is awake; turn her the other way and the eye is closed and she is asleep. That is the whole toy, and it is the part children work out first and then repeat all afternoon. Cotton, with polyester inside.

She is listed by Maileg as Baby mouse in gown - Powder, item number 17-6000-00, made in China. Maileg grades her 3 and over, so she is a keepsake for later rather than a toy for a baby under 3, which is worth knowing before she is bought for a newborn.

Other Baby size mice: Sleepy Wakey Baby Mouse in Matchbox, Blue and the Baby Twin Mice in Matchbox, Checker. Maileg sizes its mice by family role rather than by measurement, and says each one is handmade so heights vary a little, which makes the size name the thing that decides the fit.
