Why this wooden gecko makes a difference in everyday life

Use it as table scatter on the birthday table, on a gift or as a motif in a window picture. The yellow gecko adds a cheerful spot of colour to any decoration without being too much. The figures come ready to use. So you have more time for the actual crafting. And the result looks neat, not hastily cut out by hand.

Material & finish

Each gecko is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that traces the shape finely. The edges are smooth and the cut is precise. You can feel it as you work and see it in the even outlines. The yellow glaze is applied with care. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots show through. This is not a flaw but part of a natural material. Every piece is one of a kind. Some are a little lighter, some have a fine grain pattern. Made in Thuringia, Germany.

How to use the wooden gecko

• At a children's birthday party: you scatter the little geckos across the table as table scatter. Even before the cake arrives, the children have something to marvel at and take home.
• At the craft table: you paint your own patterns on the untreated back. One figure can become a gecko, lizard or salamander, just as you imagine it.
• When wrapping gifts: you stick a yellow gecko on a card or present. A plain parcel gets a recognisable motif.
• At the window: you string several sizes together into a mobile or window picture. The view outside instantly looks more playful.
• At nursery, at school or in a craft class: with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces you can supply whole groups. Every child gets a figure, and you don't have to cut anything out.

Good to know about the gecko

In many southern countries, the gecko is seen as a lucky charm that protects the house and the people living in it. That is why you often see it as a motif on house walls and souvenirs there. So the little wooden figure also works as a good-luck greeting on cards and gifts. Or as a reminder of your last holiday.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the wooden figures in a dry place. Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth when needed. Avoid constant moisture. This way the glaze and wood keep their friendly look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the stain suitable for children? Yes, the yellow stain meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.

Can I paint the figures myself? Yes. The back is natural and untreated. It is easy to paint, decorate with stickers or write on.

Why can I see grain or small knots? Wood is a purely natural material with varying textures and shades. Depending on the light, the grain and knots show through the glaze. This is exactly what makes every figure one of a kind.

How wide is the gecko? For reference: at a height of 10 cm, the width is 7.5 cm.

Where does the brown edge come from? The figures are laser-cut. The fine brown edge is typical of this cut and emphasises the outline.
