Meet Maisie, a 13cm heirloom Australian wombat doll from the Rugaroo collection.
Maisie believes there's always room for one more friend.
Every morning she waves to the lollipop person before skipping through the school gate with her backpack on for another day of adventures. By morning tea she's made a new friend, by lunchtime she's invited someone to play, and by home time she's carrying another painting home for the fridge.
Maisie loves News Day almost as much as she loves listening to everyone else's stories. She always remembers birthdays, happily shares her pencils, and somehow every drawing she brings home deserves the best spot on the fridge.
She notices when someone is sitting by themselves, is always the first to say hello, and believes that kindness is something you can never have too much of.
"Want to play?"
"You can have one of mine."
"See you tomorrow!"There's always room for one more friend.
A heartwarming addition to any Rugaroo collection, this heirloom wombat toy is made for kind hearts, little nurturers, and children who love imaginative play. A thoughtful gift for children, teachers, grandparents, and anyone who remembers that the very best part of school was the friendships made along the way.
Complete with her very own backpack, Maisie is the perfect companion for little ones getting ready for Prep, Kindy, or their very first year of school. Whether they're practising packing their bag, playing out their school day, or simply taking Maisie along for the adventure, she's there to help make this exciting milestone feel a little more familiar... and a whole lot more fun.
Pairs perfectly with Clancy, sold separately.

Why select the pouch bag?
A very Australian thing
Eight states. Eight names. One very big first day.
Only in Australia do we manage to give the same milestone eight completely different names and act like that is perfectly normal.
Kindy in New South Wales. Prep in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania. Reception in South Australia. Pre-primary in Western Australia. Transition in the Northern Territory. Foundation in the ACT. Whatever your state decided to call it, Maisie does not mind. She has got her backpack on and she is ready.
Clancy is in her class. So nobody has to be the only new kid.
THE STORY BEHIND THIS ONE
You choose Maisie for the child who has decided she is absolutely fine about it. And for the grown-ups who know exactly what that means.
Maisie is for the child standing at the school gate on the first day, red bow perfectly in place, backpack on, absolutely fine. The child who is brave in the particular way that little girls are brave, which is to say, completely, and with great attention to the details of her outfit.
She has been chosen for first days of Kindy, Prep, Reception and everything in between. For the child who needs a little mate who is starting school too. For the parent who wants to give something small and meaningful on a big day.
Clancy is in her class. So nobody has to be the only new kid.
"Starting school is something every Australian kid goes through. Now they have a little mate who gets it."
The Rugaroo Wombat Collection is our most Australian series. Built like boulders, soft as anything. Wazza, Marg, Clancy and Maisie are four characters, four stories, all grounded in the moments that make up an Australian life.
Maisie is also a meaningful gift for visiting friends and family. A handcrafted heirloom doll that travels home carrying a story of Australian childhood with it.
She is not just a doll. She is a reminder that the first big scary thing is always survivable, and that a good outfit helps enormously.
FOR THE DOLLHOUSE AND SMALL-WORLD PLAY COMMUNITY
Australia's most determined new student, reimagined as a meaningful Australian gift.
The wombat is one of Australia's most recognisable native animals. Sturdy, determined, and entirely unbothered by the opinions of others. Maisie captures all of that, and adds a red bow and a backpack.
The Rugaroo Wombat Collection brings them to life in miniature. Four characters, each grounded in Australian identity, carefully crafted into heirloom dolls made for small world play, dollhouse storytelling and imaginative play that lasts. Pieces made to be kept, gifted and passed on.
For the child starting school, for the collector, or for anyone who wants a gift that feels genuinely Australian, Maisie is a first day of school gift that will outlast the nerves, the lunchbox phase and probably the school itself.
