In the photo above, you can see my latest IKEA dollhouse set up as a busy mouse home, complete with a full Maileg mouse family. Mum mouse is sitting at the kitchen table with baby mouse in his high chair, big sister mouse is relaxing in the living room, and the two little brothers are nearby: one riding on his scooter and the other on his rocking horse.

In the graphic you can see all the mice together to give a clear sense of scale. With room heights of 19 cm and Mum and Dad mice measuring 15 cm tall, every member of the Maileg mouse family fits comfortably in all rooms of the dollhouse.

So if you’re choosing an IKEA dollhouse for your Maileg mice, it’s good to know that baby mice (such as twins, triplets or baby mice in a carrycot), brothers and sisters (both big and little), as well as Mum and Dad size mice (including Kings, Queens and Grandparents) all fit comfortably, making it easy to create a house that works for everyday play. 

Now you know which mice fit the IKEA dollhouse, the next step is choosing furniture that works well for everyday play. We’ve put together a separate guide covering the best Maileg furniture to start with, including the pieces that fit comfortably in the IKEA Flisat and the ones children reach for most.
