Wooden elephant for crafts – baby elephant V2, 5–50 cm

The birthday table is laid, and the children are already waiting eagerly at the craft table. All that's missing is a motif everyone will love straight away. With the wooden baby elephant, you have a lovable figure to paint, decorate and display. It feels as if it were made for your next craft afternoon. Table scatter, gift tag or nursery decoration: the little plywood baby elephant quickly turns an idea into something finished.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away, with no preparation. The wood is untreated, so you can paint, decorate or oil it directly.
• Your project gets exactly the right size. You choose the width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps – from gift tag to wall decoration.
• You can recognise the motif at a glance. The outlines and face are laser-scored, so there's no need to draw them yourself.
• Nobody gets hurt on rough edges when crafting with children. The laser-cut edges are smooth.
• You can plan bigger projects without stress. Order the baby elephant individually or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden baby elephant makes a difference in everyday life

An elephant wins people over straight away – children and adults alike. Instead of searching for a template or sawing one out yourself, you have a ready-made motif. You just decorate it the way you like. A free afternoon turns into something you can give away, hang up or put on the table. And it feels much more personal than off-the-shelf decorations.

Material & finish

The baby elephant is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge and a handmade look. The top shows the laser-scored outlines. The back is left plain, so you can decorate both sides as you like. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, glue and oil well. Wood is a natural material, so the shade and grain always vary a little, including small knots. That makes every piece one of a kind. Every baby elephant is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the baby elephant

• Crafting with children: every child paints their own elephant. At the end, they proudly take home a keepsake they made themselves.
• For a birth or christening: add a name and the baby elephant becomes a personal tag for your gift. You hardly need a card.
• In the nursery: a large elephant 40 or 50 cm wide on the wall, small ones next to it. The animal parade grows with every craft session.
• Crafting money gifts: a banknote, a ribbon and the elephant to hold it. Your gift looks lovingly made rather than quickly bought.
• For nurseries, schools or craft groups: with sets of 10 or more, every child has the same motif in front of them. This saves preparation and keeps things running calmly.
• In the shop window or on the counter: several elephants in graduated sizes quickly make a complete seasonal display. It's just as quick to take down again.

Good to know about the elephant

In many cultures, the elephant is a lucky charm. It stands for strength, loyalty and family bonds. That's why the baby elephant suits occasions such as births, christenings and children's birthdays. It's a motif that wishes good luck without needing many words.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The plywood is untreated, so store it somewhere dry and protect it from lasting moisture. Painting or oiling the motif also seals the surface. This keeps your baby elephant looking good for a long time.

Why does the motif have a brown edge? The baby elephant is laser-cut. The brown edge forms naturally in the process and is part of the typical look. The edges are smooth.
