Wooden hedgehog V3 with butterfly for crafting, 5–50 cm

Outside, the leaves are glowing. On the table, brushes and paints are ready. And the children can't wait to get started. This wooden hedgehog is made for afternoons just like that. It's a lovingly laser-cut hedgehog silhouette with a butterfly, made from plywood. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply decorate it as it is. A plain wooden cutout becomes your very own autumn decoration.

What changes for you

• You can start straight away, with no sketching or sawing. The hedgehog comes ready laser-cut, and the face and outlines are marked with shallow engraved lines.
• Your decoration will be exactly the size you need. Choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small window picture to a large wall piece.
• You can decorate it just the way you like. The untreated wood takes paint, oil or glue with no trouble.
• Crafting with children is relaxed. The laser-cut edges feel smooth, as if sanded, and need no extra finishing.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering. Sets of 10 to 100 pieces are available for nurseries, schools or club parties.

Why this wooden hedgehog makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought decorations often look generic. A hedgehog you've decorated yourself tells your story. Put it in an autumn window, on the dinner table or give it as a small gift. The light plywood looks calm and understated in any room. And when little hands have helped paint it, what hangs on the wall isn't just decoration. It's an afternoon you spent together.

Material & finish

The hedgehog is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge, which frames the silhouette and defines its outline. The top side is marked with shallow engraved lines. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can stick things on it, paint it or oil it as you like. Wood is a natural material, so every cutout turns out a little differently. Some are lighter, each has its own grain, and some have small knots. That makes every piece one of a kind. The hedgehog is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, and is neatly finished.

How to use the wooden hedgehog

• Crafting with children on an autumn afternoon: each child paints their own hedgehog. At the end, they proudly take home a work of art they made themselves.
• In the window or on the wall: arrange a few hedgehogs in different sizes. Your home will show from afar that autumn has arrived.
• On the dinner table: place a small hedgehog at each seat as a place card or party favour. Your guests then have something to take home.
• At nursery or school: with sets of 10 or more, the whole group gets the same blank. And you save yourself the tedious job of sawing out every single figure.
• In a café, farm shop or at the weekly market: painted hedgehogs in the shop window or on the counter quickly make a seasonal, inviting display. Setting it up takes very little effort.

Good to know about the hedgehog

Few animals stand for autumn quite like the hedgehog. In children's books, songs and window pictures, it's firmly part of the colourful season. That's why this wooden cutout suits autumn decorations, harvest festival and craft projects with children so well. As an animal motif, you can also use it all year round.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The plywood is untreated, so just keep the hedgehog dry and avoid lasting moisture. If you paint, oil or seal it, the surface becomes more durable. That way your decoration will look good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the hedgehog or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated and in its natural state. You can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it.

Is the back decorated too? No. The engraved lines with the face and details are on the top side. The underside is left natural.

Why does the hedgehog have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut. The fine brown edge forms naturally in the process and is typical of this method.

Do all hedgehogs look exactly the same? The shape is identical, the wood isn't. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain, and small knots are normal. That makes every piece one of a kind.

Is the hedgehog suitable for outdoor use? The wood is untreated. For outdoor use, you should protect it yourself, for example with varnish or oil, and avoid lasting moisture.

A piece of plywood is just the start. What counts is the moment a hedgehog hangs in the window that someone has decorated with real joy. Simply choose your size – singly or as a set – and get started.
