Ankylosaurus craft – wooden silhouette to paint, 3–50 cm

The birthday party is coming up, and the theme is decided: dinosaurs. All you need now is something little dino fans can decorate themselves. This cute wooden ankylosaurus is made for exactly that. Maybe you want to make and paint an ankylosaurus with your child. Or you're looking for table scatter for the birthday table. Either way, the laser-cut silhouette with its friendly face brings dino fun straight to the table.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, gluing or oiling right away. The plywood arrives untreated and in its natural state.
• Your craft project works without any sanding. The edges are laser-cut and smooth, so small hands are happy to pick it up too.
• You get exactly the size that suits your idea. The width can be chosen from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small table scatter dino to a large wall motif for the kids' bedroom.
• Group projects are easy to plan, for example at nursery or school. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available.
• You can see the motif's character straight away. The outline and face are scored into the surface. It's not just a plain silhouette but a little dino with a personality of its own.

Why this wooden ankylosaurus makes a difference

Ready-made plastic decorations look the same everywhere. A wooden dino you've decorated yourself tells its own story. Crafting with children gives you more than decoration. It gives you an afternoon together. And at the end, there's something in the kids' bedroom your child is proud of. As table scatter on the birthday table, natural wood also looks calmer and more thoughtful than brightly coloured mass-produced items.

Material & finish

The ankylosaurus is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif finely. The top side shows the scored contour lines with the face and details. The underside is left plain. The wood is untreated, with no varnish or glaze. This means paints, glue and oils adhere well. Wood is a natural material and is never completely uniform. Variations in shade, fine grain patterns and small knots are normal, so every piece is one of a kind. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• In the shop window or on the counter: for dinosaur theme weeks. Quick to set up, and you can paint them to match your shop design if you like.

Fun facts about the ankylosaurus

The name ankylosaurus comes from Greek and roughly means "fused lizard". It refers to its famous armour, which makes it one of the most popular dinosaurs among children. That's why the motif works so well for dino birthdays, kids' bedroom decoration and prehistoric craft projects.
