Make a kiwi – wooden kiwi bird, 3–50 cm wide

A New Zealand themed evening, your child's school project or simply fancying making a kiwi – sometimes all that's missing is the right figure to decorate your way. This wooden kiwi bird is made for your craft table. It is a cleanly laser-cut silhouette in untreated plywood. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply leave it natural. That way a plain cutout becomes your very own piece of New Zealand.

What changes for you

• You can start straight away, with no preparation – the wood is untreated and takes paint, glue or oil directly.
• Your decoration gets a clear, recognisable shape – because the silhouette is laser-cut and has clean, smooth edges.
• You'll find the right size for every project, from a small gift tag to a large wall motif – with widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• When crafting with children or in a group, you'll have enough figures for everyone – because you can order them singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden kiwi makes a difference in everyday life

A shop-bought decoration looks the same in every home – a kiwi you decorate yourself tells your story. Whether as a reminder of your trip to New Zealand, as a figure on the shelf or as a small extra on a present: the figure turns out exactly as you imagine it. Wood feels grippy and slightly rough. It also goes well with other natural materials in your home.

Material & finish

The kiwi is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that finely traces the silhouette. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. It feels nice in your hand and is safe for crafting, even with children. The wood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. You decide for yourself whether to paint it, oil it or stick things on it. As a natural material, wood is never completely uniform. Different shades, fine structures in the grain and small knots are part of it and make every piece one of a kind. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, Germany.

How to use the kiwi bird

• Making kiwi birds with children: each child paints their own figure – and in the end a whole colourful kiwi family stands on the windowsill.
• As a travel memento: a large kiwi next to your New Zealand photos on the wall – and your holiday stays visible in everyday life.
• On a present: a small kiwi as a tag on a ribbon or bow – and your parcel looks personal before it's even opened.
• For a country project at school: New Zealand's national bird as a hands-on example – and the poster gains a third dimension.
• In a café or shop with a New Zealand link: combine several sizes in the shop window or on the counter. They're quick to arrange, and as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 you have enough to hand without reordering.

Good to know about the kiwi

The kiwi is New Zealand's national bird and stands for the country on the other side of the world like hardly any other motif. That makes the figure especially suitable for travel mementos, country projects at school, themed parties or as a tag on presents for anyone who holds New Zealand close to their heart.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: just wipe it with a dry cloth when needed. As the wood is untreated, you should protect it from constant moisture. Or you can paint or oil it as you like – then your kiwi will keep looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood already treated? No, the kiwi is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed – you can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it straight away.

Where does the brown edge come from? The kiwi is laser-cut, which creates the typical brown edge along the outline. It's part of the cutting process and emphasises the silhouette.

How tall is the figure at a given width? As a reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6.5 cm. Other sizes scale accordingly.

Why don't all the cutouts look the same? Wood is a natural material. Different shades, fine structures in the grain and small knots are normal and make every piece unique.

What you get is a wooden cutout. What counts is the moment your own kiwi stands finished in front of you – and a piece of New Zealand has moved in with you. Just choose your size and quantity. The rest is up to your ideas.
