Crafting with kids – cow silhouette V2 in plywood

The children's birthday party is coming up. The farm theme is decided. And you're still looking for something that links the table decorations and the craft session. This plywood cow is made for exactly that. It's a funny cow silhouette with a face drawn on. You can paint it, decorate it or simply lay it out as it is. A simple idea turns into a figure that makes children and adults smile.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting straight away, with no sawing or tracing of your own – the cow arrives ready laser-cut, with neatly drawn contours and a face.
• Your decoration always fits its spot – because you choose the width freely from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. From a small scatter piece to a large window motif.
• You design it just as you like – the untreated wood takes paint, glue and oil well. Whether you're crafting with children or working on your own project.
• You have plenty for groups – with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, there's enough for a whole nursery group or school class.
• Working with it is comfortable and safe – the laser-cut edges are smooth. Nothing needs sanding.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations often look like everyone else's. A wooden blank, on the other hand, becomes your own piece. Use it as table scatter on the birthday table, as a painted figure in the nursery or as a motif in the window. The cow suits farm themes. Depending on how you use it, you can paint it, decorate it or leave it natural. And because you decide on the size and design yourself, the result really suits you.

Material & finish

The cow is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge that outlines the motif. The top side has etched contour lines with the face and markings. The underside is left natural, so you can finish it however you like. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. That means you can paint, decorate or oil it. Every cow is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a purely natural material. Brightness, grain and small knots always vary a little – so every piece is one of a kind.

How to use the wooden cow

• Crafting with children: every child paints their own cow. At the end, a whole colourful herd stands on the table, and everyone is proud of it.
• In the nursery: painted and hung up or placed on a shelf, the cow brings the farm theme to the wall – with very little effort.
• As table scatter: spread small cows between plates and napkins, and the birthday or party table has its theme straight away.
• At nursery and school: with sets from 10 pieces, you have enough blanks for project days. Everyone works on the same motif, and every result turns out different.
• In the farm shop or at the weekly market: as a motif on a shelf or counter, the cow highlights your country produce and completes the display.

Good to know about cows

The cow has always stood for country life, calm and down-to-earth values. When cattle come down from the alpine pastures in autumn, they are often decorated for the occasion in many places. That's why the motif suits farm-themed birthdays, harvest festival and country-style decoration so well. From the nursery to the shop counter.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated cow dry, and it will keep its shape and look good for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If the motif is going to hang outdoors, a coat of paint or oil helps. You can easily apply this yourself to the untreated wood.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the wooden cow? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated or oiled – ideal for crafting and decorating.

Are both sides designed? No. The top side shows the etched contour lines with the face and markings. The underside is left natural, so you can design it freely.

Why do the cutouts look slightly different? Wood is a natural material. Brightness and grain vary, and small knots are normal. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Where does the brown edge come from? It forms during laser cutting and is typical of this cutting method. The edges are smooth and don't need any finishing.

This is about more than a wooden cutout. It's about the moment the children proudly line up their painted cows – and you can simply sit back and watch. All that's left is to choose your width and the right quantity.
