Why this wooden goldfish makes a difference day to day

Ready-made wooden shapes take care of the preparation and still leave you free to do what you like. No struggling with scissors, saws or templates. You can go straight to the fun part: decorating. An afternoon with children, a gift idea or a shop window display becomes a project that's easy to do. And the result really looks good.

Material & finish

The goldfish is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives the edges the typical fine brown rim, which adds extra definition to the silhouette. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So it's ready for anything: paint it, oil it, cover it or simply leave it natural. Wood is a natural material. Its shade and grain always vary a little, and small knots are normal. This makes every piece unique. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden goldfish

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own fish. At the end, they take home a keepsake from the birthday party that they designed themselves.
• For money gifts: Attach a banknote to the goldfish with care. A plain envelope becomes a gift people will talk about.
• For First Communion, christening or the first day of school: Use small fish as place cards or table scatter. Your table gets one consistent motif throughout.
• In a shop or café: Hang large goldfish in the window to match the season's theme. They're quick to put up and easy to see, so customers stop in front of the window.
• In nursery or school: Use them as a base for projects about water and animals. They're ready in minutes, and the sets cover whole groups.

Good to know about the goldfish

For centuries, the goldfish has been a symbol of luck and prosperity. In China, it was bred as an ornamental fish and given as a gift from early on. That's why the motif suits money gifts and good wishes so well. A painted wooden goldfish on a gift says more than any greetings card.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Untreated wood stays looking good indoors for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you want the fish to be more durable, simply paint, oil or varnish it. This protects the surface the way you like.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or cover the goldfish? Yes. The wood is untreated and can be painted, oiled, covered or decorated in other ways.

Why do the edges have a brown rim? The goldfish is laser-cut. The fine brown rim is typical of this cutting method and also gives smooth edges.

Do all the fish look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood isn't. As a natural material, it varies in shade and has its own grain, sometimes with small knots. Every piece is unique.

How tall is the fish at a given width? The proportions stay the same. At 10 cm wide, the height is 7.5 cm. You can work out the height for any other width from this.

Are the cutouts suitable for larger quantities? Yes. As well as single pieces, there are sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 – for example for school classes, clubs or shop decorations.

What counts is the moment your child proudly holds up the goldfish they painted. Or when your gift makes someone smile before it's even unwrapped. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
