Mandinha Martínez, wife of World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez, is launching a new venture in England focused on children's development and play. The space, called Fox & Fern Forest Play, is set to open in Birmingham in September.
Martínez, who has a background in interior design and previously launched a children's clothing and furniture brand, is personally involved in the project. The new facility aims to provide an environment where children can "climb, play, create, and imagine" in an "enchanted forest" setting.
children will be able to climb, play, create and imagine in our charming indoor forest village, designed for curious minds and restless little explorers.
The play area is designed to encourage children to engage with their senses and creativity, moving away from screen time. It features synthetic grass, wooden elements, and hand-painted murals depicting forest animals. The space is divided into three zones: Fern Sprouts for babies aged 0-12 months with sensory and music sessions, Little Ferns for toddlers focusing on sensory exploration, and a third zone for older children.
Martínez's previous success with her children's brand, Mi Sueños Kids, which has stores in the UK, has paved the way for this new project. The Fox & Fern Forest Play facility is located next to her existing clothing store.
Beyond the forest doors lies a magical woodland where curiosity guides every adventure.
