The children's birthday party is coming up and the craft box is open. You just need a motif that children recognise straight away. This wooden kangaroo is a blank for painting, sticking and decorating. It is made for your craft table. The simple cutout can become a decoration for a child's room or an Australia-themed table scatter. It also makes a lovingly designed gift.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away, with no sawing or sanding. The kangaroo is laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• You design the motif just the way you like. The plywood is untreated. You can paint it, stick things on, varnish it or oil it.
• You get exactly the size that suits your project. Choose from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your motif looks lively even without paint. The face and outlines are finely etched into the surface with the laser.
• Combine several sizes to make a little kangaroo family. Try a large kangaroo with a small joey. Hang them up or stand them side by side. Use them in a child's room or on greetings cards.

Why this kangaroo wood cutout makes a difference in everyday life

Homemade decorations always tell a little story. A kangaroo instantly brings to mind wide open spaces, sunshine and Australia. You might put it in the window, on the birthday table or on a card. The motif recalls open spaces and sunshine, yet it looks calm and understated. And because you design it yourself, it ends up suiting you and your home exactly.

Material & finish

The kangaroo is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge, which adds depth to the motif. The contour lines are etched into the top side. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It therefore takes paint, glue and oil well. As a purely natural material, it varies in shade. It shows fine grain patterns and occasionally small knots. That is what makes each piece unique. The cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, with a clean finish.

How to use the wooden kangaroo

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own kangaroo. At the end of the afternoon they take a little work of art home.
• In a child's room: Arrange several sizes in a row on the wall or on a shelf. A large kangaroo with a small joey tells its own little story.
• Making money gifts: Put a kangaroo on the greetings card for a trip to Australia. The envelope then carries something handmade that suits the occasion.
• As an Australia-themed table scatter: Spread small kangaroos across the party table. Everyone can see the party theme at first glance.
• In a shop window or at a market stall: Arrange them painted or natural. The motif makes passers-by smile.

Good to know about the kangaroo

The kangaroo appears on the Australian coat of arms together with the emu. There, both animals stand for looking ahead, as they hardly ever move backwards. That is why the motif suits occasions with a sense of new beginnings. Use it for a farewell before a big journey or for a new chapter in life. It also works as words of encouragement on a homemade card.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. The untreated plywood stays looking good for a long time if you store it dry and protect it from constant moisture. If you want a more durable surface, you can paint or oil the wood as you like.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the kangaroo or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, stick things on, varnish it or oil it.

Are the outlines visible on both sides? No. The etched face and lines are on the top side. The underside is left natural.

Why don't all the cutouts look the same? Wood is a purely natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary, so each piece is unique.

How wide is the kangaroo? The width depends on the height you choose. For reference: at a height of 10 cm, the width is 7 cm.

Where does the brown edge come from? It forms during laser cutting and is typical of this cutting method. The edges are still smooth and clean.

A wood cutout can turn into a special moment. A child proudly holds up the kangaroo they painted themselves. Or your card makes someone smile as they unwrap it. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
