Elephant head V2 in wood for crafting & painting

A child's birthday party is coming up. Or your little niece's christening. Or just a free afternoon with the craft box on the kitchen table. And you still need a motif that children recognise straight away. This wooden elephant head is made for your craft table. It's a clear plywood silhouette. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply stand it up in natural wood. A plain piece of wood becomes your very own decoration.

What changes for you

• You can start straight away, with no preparation. The wood is untreated and takes paint, glue or oil directly.
• Your decoration fits your project exactly. You choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. From a small gift tag to a large wall motif.
• You can craft calmly with children too. The laser-cut edges are smooth, and the motif is already cut out.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering. The elephant head comes single or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding a piece from our own production. Made in Thuringia and neatly finished.

Why this wooden elephant head makes a difference every day

Ready-made plastic decorations look the same everywhere. A wooden blank you design yourself shows your own style. Use it as a name sign on a child's door, as a gift tag or as a motif on the party table. The light, smooth plywood can be painted or decorated directly. It also looks neat left natural. And because you decide the size and quantity, the elephant suits small gifts just as well as a big themed party.

Material & finish

The elephant head is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge. The edge frames the motif and outlines the silhouette. The surface is untreated, not varnished or stained. So every option is open to you, from painting and decorating to oiling. Wood is a natural material and varies in shade. Small irregularities in the grain or tiny knots are normal. That makes every piece one of a kind. The cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the elephant head

• Crafting with children: every child paints their own elephant. At the end of the afternoon, everyone proudly takes their artwork home.
• For a christening or baby shower: use small elephants as table scatter or place cards. The table tells guests what you're celebrating before the first drink.
• For gifts of money: attach notes or coins to the painted elephant. A plain envelope becomes a gift with a wink.
• In a child's room: write the child's name on it and hang it on the door or wall. A personal detail that brings joy every day.
• In a shop or café: use it as a writable element in your window or counter display for a circus or safari promotion. Quick to set up and tidy to look at. You can redesign it as often as you like.

Good to know about the elephant

In many cultures, the elephant stands for luck, wisdom and strength. Small elephant figures are popular lucky charms. So the motif suits more than a child's room. It also fits a birth, christening or first day at school, or as good wishes for a new chapter in life.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. If needed, simply dust it with a dry cloth. The wood is untreated, so avoid constant moisture. Or paint or oil the surface as you like. Then your motif will stay looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the elephant head? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can paint it, stick things on it, varnish it or oil it – whatever your idea.

Why is the edge brown? The cutout is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge with smooth sides. It's a feature of the process and gives the motif a clear outline.

Do all pieces look exactly the same? The shape is always identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it varies in shade. It can show slight differences in grain or small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How tall is the elephant head at my chosen width? As a guide: at 10 cm wide, it is 8 cm tall. The other sizes are in proportion.

Is the cutout available in larger quantities? Yes. As well as single pieces, you can order sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. Handy for nurseries, schools, club events or shop displays.

What counts is more than a piece of plywood. It's the moment a child holds up the elephant they painted. Or when your guests at the party table smile because every detail is right. Just choose your width and quantity, and get started.
