Wooden donkey V2 for crafts – plywood silhouette, 5–50 cm

The children's birthday party is coming up and the theme is the farm. The birthday table still needs a matching decoration figure. This wooden donkey for crafting and decorating gives you a design you can finish exactly as your occasion needs. Paint it, decorate it, hang it up or simply leave it natural. The cute silhouette with its drawn face is just right for your next crafting session.

What changes for you

• You can finish the donkey just the way you like. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, stick things on, varnish it or oil it.
• Your design always suits your project, whether table scatter or wall decoration. You can choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• There's no need to draw anything first. The outlines and face are already laser-scored onto the wood. Children can start straight away.
• The donkey is pleasant and safe to work with. The laser-cut edges are smooth, with no frayed edges.
• You can plan bigger projects with ease, for example for nursery, school or shop. The donkey is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden donkey makes a difference every day

A ready-cut design takes care of the hardest part for you. Instead of sawing and sanding, you start straight away with the fun part: decorating. On the craft table, the donkey gives everyone a clear theme to work with, children and adults alike. And when the finished piece later hangs in the children's room or sits on the birthday table, it tells a little story. A shop-bought ready-made item can't do that in the same way.

Material & finish

The donkey is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge from laser cutting. The top shows the face, drawn with laser-scored lines. The underside is left natural. So you have one designed side and one blank side. Wood is a natural material. Shade and grain vary slightly from piece to piece, including small knots. This makes every cutout one of a kind and is not a flaw. The donkey is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, and is carefully finished.

How to use the wooden donkey

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own donkey. In the end, a whole colourful herd stands on the table, and everyone is proud of it.
• In a farm-themed children's room: Combine the donkey with other farm animals on the wall. The single figures turn into a little farmyard scene.
• On the birthday table: Put a donkey at every place, labelled with a name. The place card doubles as a party favour.
• Making Christmas decorations: As a figure for your home-made nativity scene, the donkey plays its classic role.
• In a farm shop or at the weekly market: Use the donkey as a price tag holder or counter decoration. It picks up the farm theme and adds a handmade detail to your display. In sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, there are enough for the whole shop.

Good to know about the donkey

For centuries, the ox and the donkey have been part of every nativity scene. In many stories, the donkey stands for patience and modesty. So the design suits not only farm and children's themes but also Advent and Christmas. For example, as a figure you decorate yourself when making Christmas crafts with children.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. As the wood is untreated, simply store the donkey somewhere dry and dust it when needed. Avoid constant moisture. If you'd like to protect the design for longer, you can varnish or oil it as you like. This keeps the natural look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the donkey? Yes. The plywood is untreated and in its natural state. You can paint it, stick things on, varnish it or oil it.

Is the face already on the wood? Yes, the outlines and face are laser-scored onto the top. The underside is left natural.

Why does the donkey have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut. The brown edge is a typical result of this and is part of the design's look. The edges are smooth.

Do all donkeys look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in shade and may show small irregularities or knots in the grain. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How big is the donkey at 10 cm wide? At 10 cm wide, it is 8.5 cm high. The proportions stay the same for every width you can choose.

What really counts is the moment when the whole hand-painted donkey herd stands on the table. Every child recognises their own animal straight away. Just choose your width and quantity – and get started.
