The Mushie Nesting Star is a set of five graduated stars that little ones can nest inside one another, stack into a tower or line up to match by size and colour. It's an open-ended nesting and stacking toy for the stage where babies and toddlers love to grasp, fit and knock things down, and it's recommended for ages 10 months to 3 years.
As your child works out which star fits inside which, they're practising fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination — picking up, lining up and releasing each piece with growing control. There's no single right way to play, so the set can be as simple or as involved as your child is ready for, whether that's mouthing and grasping the largest star early on or building and matching all five later.
Part of Mushie's Danish Hygge collection
The Nesting Star belongs to Mushie's Danish Hygge collection, inspired by the town of Aarhus. Its muted, restrained colour palette is typical of the brand's design language, so it sits quietly in a playroom rather than shouting for attention — and makes a considered gift with a bit of keepsake appeal.
Materials and care
The stars are made from polypropylene (PP) plastic that is BPA-, BPS-, PVC- and phthalate-free, and the set is made in Denmark. Nested together the pieces measure roughly 12.45 x 12.45 x 5.33 cm, so they pack down neatly for storage. To clean, wash with warm, soapy water and let the stars air dry.
Best For
The Mushie Nesting Star is a great option for parents who:
