Children's Stories Inspired by the Maileg Troll
Children's Stories Inspired by the Maileg Trolls
This past summer, we gifted a classroom the Maileg Trolls in cooperation with a creative summer assignment. The trolls quickly became children's summertime sidekick, accompanying them as a friendly companion on all their adventures. Many students submitted wonderful stories and illustrations about the fun they had with their Maileg Troll, and we're excited to share some of them with you today!

The Maileg team was so heart-warmed to read about summer fun the students had with the Maileg Trolls. From exploring the Statue of Liberty, encountering alligators, sipping on slushies, and splashing around at water parks, the children's imaginative tales came to life with creative stories and beautiful drawings.
We're grateful to the classroom for embracing the silly Trolls, and allowing them to spark creativity and joy for young minds. We love to see the magic of friendship and imagination unfold with the help of these charming little creatures, and we look forward to hearing more Maileg Troll adventures in the future!
