Wooden dino – dinosaur wood cutout for crafts, 3–50 cm

A dinosaur-themed children's party, a new craft project for the nursery or a card that should be more than just paper: this wooden dino is made for moments like these. The funny dino silhouette made from plywood comes to you untreated. You decide whether it gets painted in bright colours, decorated or left natural. That way, a simple wooden cutout becomes exactly the dino you have in mind.

What changes for you

• You'll find the right size for every project. The dino can be ordered in widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small table scatter figure to a large wall silhouette.
• You can start painting, decorating or oiling straight away. The wood is natural and untreated, and it takes paint well.
• Your craft afternoon with children will be more relaxed. The laser-cut edges are smooth, so nothing splinters and nothing needs sanding.
• Your dino looks cute even before you decorate it. The outlines and face are etched into the surface, and the laser-cut edge gives the design character.
• You save time and money on larger projects. You can get the dino singly or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.

Why this wooden dino makes a difference every day

A ready-cut design takes care of the hardest part for you. You don't have to draw or saw anything. Instead, you can go straight to the fun part: designing, painting, decorating. On the nursery wall, on the birthday table or as a motif on cards and gifts: you can use the dino anywhere. And because it's made of wood, it feels sturdier in your hand and looks more robust than any paper template.

Material & finish

The dino is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood and has the typical brown edge. This gives clean, smooth edges and a clear outline that's nice to hold. The top shows the etched outlines with a face. The back is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can decorate, paint or oil it however you like. Wood is a purely natural material. Variations in shade, fine grain patterns or small knots are normal. That's what makes every piece unique. The dino is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden dino

• On the birthday table: small dinos as table scatter between plates and muffins. The themed party looks lovingly prepared, with little effort.
• On cards and gifts: a mini dino glued on turns a simple greetings card or a wrapped present into something people like to hold. You can also use it to make money gifts look pretty.

Facts about the dinosaur

The name dinosaur comes from Greek and roughly means "terrible lizard". It was coined in 1842 by the British naturalist Richard Owen. There's nothing terrible about this funny silhouette, but the fascination remains. Hardly any motif excites children so reliably. That's why the dino is a long-time favourite for nurseries, themed parties and craft projects.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Simply store the untreated dino in a dry place and wipe it with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the dino outdoors, a coat of paint or a layer of oil protects it and keeps it looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the wooden dino? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or decorate it however you like.

How tall is the dino at a given width? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 9 cm. Height and width increase in the same proportion.

Why does the dino have a brown edge? The dino is laser-cut. The brown edge is created by the laser and is typical of this cutting method. In return, the edges are smooth and clean.

Why don't all the dinos look exactly the same? Wood is a purely natural material. Variations in shade, fine grain and small knots are normal and make every piece unique.

This is more than a wooden cutout. It's for the moment your child proudly holds up the dino they painted themselves. Or when your guests at the birthday table smile before the cake has even been cut. Just choose your width and quantity, and you design the rest.
