Wooden face Thinking Tim – thinking smiley, 3–50 cm

The school cone is nearly done and the present is wrapped. But the little detail that makes people smile is still missing. That's exactly what this wooden face is for. Thinking Tim is the thoughtful smiley with sunglasses. He adds a bit of character to gifts, cards and decorations in one simple step. You can stick him on, paint him or leave the wood untreated. And plain packaging becomes something personal.

What changes for you

• Thanks to the smooth laser-cut edges, you can stick Thinking Tim onto gifts and craft projects in seconds.
• You can design the motif just the way you like. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it.
• You'll always find the right size for your project. Choose from 3 cm for small tags up to 50 cm for wall and shop decorations, in 1 cm steps.
• No guesswork when colouring in. All outlines are lightly laser-scored on the top side. Even children can find their way straight away.
• For bigger craft sessions, you can rely on having enough. Order them singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden face makes a difference every day

A small motif with a facial expression says more than any ribbon. The puzzled look behind the sunglasses adds a light-hearted touch to children's rooms, party tables and gift wrapping. Instead of searching for a decoration idea, you have a finished motif in your hand. All you need to do is decorate it to your taste. With little effort, you get a result that stands out. And it feels homemade, because it is.

Material & finish

Thinking Tim is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives clean, smooth edges without splinters. The shape is precise, feels pleasant to the touch and is easy to glue. The top side has the scored outlines to guide painting and decorating. The underside is left untreated. Every piece is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a natural material. Its shade can vary, and it may show small knots or textures in the grain. This is not a flaw. It's what makes each piece one of a kind.

How to use Thinking Tim

• When wrapping presents: Instead of a ribbon, stick a small wooden face onto the paper. The parcel gets people talking before it's even opened.
• In the children's room: Arrange several sizes on the wall or on a shelf. It's a cheerful decoration that can be redesigned again and again with finger paints or pens.
• For children's birthday parties or craft groups: With a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100, every child gets their own motif to paint. Ready in one minute.
• In a shop or café: On the counter, a board or in the shop window, the smiley with sunglasses livens up your display. In large sizes up to 50 cm, it's easy to see from a distance.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made of several layers of wood glued crosswise. This makes it dimensionally stable. It warps much less than solid wood of the same thickness. For you, this means Thinking Tim stays flat and sturdy, even at just 3 mm thick. It's easy to paint and sticks securely. That goes for small card motifs and large decorative faces alike.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply store it in a dry place, and the untreated wood will keep its natural look for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the motif outdoors or in damper rooms, just paint, varnish or oil it first.
