Wooden kitten V1 for crafting with children – plywood

A rainy afternoon, the craft table laid out with paints, brushes and glue – and right in the middle, a little wooden kitten just waiting to be painted. This laser-cut plywood cat silhouette is made for moments like these: crafting with kids, making lovingly designed cards or decorating a child's room. Simply choose the size you need between 3 and 50 cm – and turn the raw wood into your very own cat design.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away with painting, decorating or oiling – because the wood is untreated and paint sticks directly to the natural surface.
• Your craft project looks neat without any sanding. That's thanks to the smooth, laser-cut edges with the typical brown rim.
• You'll find the right size for every project, from a tiny kitten on a greetings card to a big pussycat on the wall – because the width can be chosen from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You save time and money on bigger projects – because you can order the design individually or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden kitten makes a difference every day

A design you've made yourself says more than any shop-bought decoration. Whether the kitten hangs on a gift, is stuck on a Christmas card or greets everyone from a child's bedroom door, it carries your personal touch. That's what makes the difference: a simple cutout becomes something personal that brings a smile to every cat lover's face.

Material & finish

The kitten is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it smooth edges with the characteristic brown laser rim, which gives the motif a fine outline. The surface is left natural, not varnished or glazed. It takes paint, glue or oil reliably. Wood is a purely natural material. Brightness and grain vary, and small knots or irregularities may occur. That is exactly what makes each piece one of a kind. Every kitten is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, and is cleanly finished.

How to use your wooden kitten

• Crafting with kids: each child paints their own kitten – and in the end, a colourful cat parade hangs in the children's room.
• Making Christmas cards: stick a little kitten in 3 or 4 cm onto the card. Your greeting to cat lovers becomes personal.
• Crafting money gifts: attach the banknote to the kitten – and a plain envelope becomes a gift to remember.
• Making a Mother's Day or Father's Day gift: a painted kitten with a name or date – a little keepsake that will stay on the shelf for a long time.
• In a shop, café or at the weekly market: with a large design up to 50 cm wide, you can decorate shop windows or themed tables – quick to set up and easy to swap with the seasons.

Fun facts about cats

In many cultures, the cat is seen as a bringer of good luck. The best-known example is the beckoning cat from Japan, which is said to bring luck to guests and customers. So the cat motif doesn't just suit a child's room. It also works on greetings cards and gifts, and as clearly visible decoration on the shop counter.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the untreated wood in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture, and it will stay stable and ready to decorate whenever you like. Once painted, oiled or varnished, the surface is extra protected and keeps its look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the kitten? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, coated or oiled – just as you like.

Why does the design have a brown edge? The brown edge is created during laser cutting and is part of its typical look. It also means smooth edges with no sanding needed.

Do all the kittens look 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 – every piece is unique.

How tall is the kitten at my chosen width? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 7 cm. The proportions stay the same at every size.

In the end, it's not about a wooden cutout. It's about the moment a kitten you've designed yourself hangs on a card, a gift or a bedroom door – and someone realises: this was made with love. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
