Wooden toad for crafts and decorating – plywood, 3–50 cm

You're at the craft table and your paints are ready. All you need now is the right figure for your project. This wooden toad made from plywood is just right for your next crafting afternoon. It has a clear silhouette, smooth edges and untreated wood. You decide what it becomes. Paint it, decorate it with stickers and paper or leave it natural as decoration. The plain cutout becomes your very own little piece.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or writing on it straight away – because the plywood is untreated and takes paint, varnish and oil well.
• You get exactly the size that suits your project – with widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your finished piece looks neat without any sanding. That's because the laser cut leaves smooth edges.
• When crafting with children or in larger groups, you won't need to reorder. That's because the toad comes single or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• What you're holding is a piece of honest craftsmanship, made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden toad makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout you design yourself shows your own style. The toad silhouette with its wood finish brings a calm, natural look to your table, window or wall. And when you craft with children, you get what really matters along the way. You spend time together and end up with something everyone is a little proud of.

Material & finish

The toad is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the figure finely. The edges are smooth, so they feel pleasant and don't splinter. Children's hands can work with it easily too. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. So you can paint, oil or decorate it however you like. As a natural material, each piece has its own grain and shade. Some have small knots. This isn't a flaw. It makes every toad one of a kind.

How to use the wooden toad

• Crafting with children on a rainy afternoon: each child paints their own toad. At the end, a whole colourful toad family sits on the windowsill.
• For crafting gifts of money: fold a banknote and decorate the toad to go with it. A plain envelope becomes a gift with a wink.
• As table scatter or tags for a garden party or children's birthday party: spread small toads across the table and your theme is set with little effort.
• At nursery, at school or in your craft group: with a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100, everyone has the same blank. You prepare once and everyone starts at the same time.
• In your shop or at the weekly market: place large toads from 30 or 40 cm wide in the shop window or on the counter. They're quick to set up and last a long time.

Good to know about the toad

In Chinese tradition, the money toad is a symbol of wealth and good fortune. It's often placed at the entrance of homes and shops. That's why the toad silhouette suits crafted gifts of money so well. The motif tells the story too.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the untreated wood in a dry place. Wipe it with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the toad outdoors, protect it with paint or a wood stain. That way it will last you a long time.

Frequently asked questions

How tall is the toad at a given width? For reference: at 10 cm wide, the height is 8 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.
