Why this wooden helicopter makes a difference every day

A wooden helicopter decoration looks natural in a way colourful plastic decorations don't. Use it in the children's room, as a motif on the birthday table or for a craft afternoon together. Little helicopter fans love it straight away. And because you decide how it looks, you end up with exactly the piece that suits your home.

Material & finish

The helicopter is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. The laser cut leaves clean, smooth edges. That's why the silhouette feels nice in your hand and is easy for children to decorate. A fine brown edge along the outline is typical of this process. It gives the motif a clear, defined line. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, oil it or stick things on it, just as you like. Wood is a natural material and never completely uniform. Different shades, small knots and fine grain patterns are part of it. They make every piece one of a kind.

Good to know about helicopters

The word "helicopter" comes from Greek. It combines "helix" (spiral) and "pteron" (wing). So it literally means a "spiral wing". No wonder children are fascinated by the spinning rotors. As a motif for the children's room, a birthday or a craft afternoon, the helicopter almost always hits the mark.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated wooden cutout dry and away from constant moisture. Then it will keep its natural look for a long time. A coat of paint, varnish or oil adds extra protection to the surface. It also lets you finish the motif just the way you like.
