Wooden cow V1 – cow cutout for crafting and decorating

A farm-themed birthday at nursery, a gift to decorate yourself or the table decoration for a farm open day – sometimes all that's missing is the small motif that sums up the theme. This wooden cow is made for your craft ideas. It's a clearly recognisable cow made of wood. It comes untreated and ready for your paints, pens and ideas. You choose the size that suits your project – from tiny to a large figure.

What changes for you

• You can decorate the cow exactly the way you want – because the plywood is untreated and can be glued, painted, stained or oiled.
• You'll find the right size for every project, from table scatter pieces to a large decorative motif – thanks to a choice of widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away, with no sanding and no risk of splinters – because the laser-cut edges are smooth.
• You save time on bigger projects at nursery, at school or for a party – because you can order the dairy cow singly or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden cow makes a difference every day

If you want to make a wooden cow yourself, the saw, the template and your patience often get in the way – here you get the finished silhouette and can focus entirely on decorating. The motif instantly brings a farmyard feel to your table, your gift or your window, without any elaborate decorating. And because every cow is made of real wood, your decorations look warm and natural rather than generic.

Material & finish

The cow is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It has the typical brown edge from laser cutting, which gives the motif a fine outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. So you can hand it to children too. The wood is left natural: untreated, not varnished or stained. Wood is a natural material, so every cow turns out a little different. Some are lighter, some darker. Now and then you'll find small knots or irregularities in the grain. That makes every piece one of a kind. Every cow is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your wooden cow

• At a farmyard birthday party: a small wooden cow at every place as table scatter – and the children have something to paint and take home before the cake even arrives.
• On a gift: a painted cow as a tag on the ribbon – and a plain little parcel becomes a personal greeting.
• At nursery or school: every child decorates their own cow for a farm-themed project – and at the end a whole herd hangs on the wall.
• In a farm shop, café or at a market stall: the cow as a decorative motif on the counter, shelf or price tag – and your local produce gets the perfect setting at a glance.

Good to know about cows

Decorated cows have a long tradition in the Alps: during the autumn cattle drive, the animals are festively adorned and led down from the mountain pastures into the valley. That's why the cow motif suits not only farm-themed craft projects, but also autumn festivals, harvest festival and country-inspired table decorations.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: as the wood is untreated, it's best kept dry indoors. Avoid prolonged moisture – if you paint or oil the cow, you give the surface extra protection and it will stay looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

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

Why does the cow have a brown edge? The edge is created during laser cutting and is typical of this cutting method. It gives the motif a clear outline, and the edges are still smooth.

How tall is the cow at the width I've chosen? The height depends on the proportions of the motif: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6 cm.

Do all the cows look the same? The shape is identical, the wood isn't: as a natural material it can be lighter or darker and may show small knots. That makes every cow one of a kind.

In the end, it's not about a wooden cutout. It's about the moment a simple silhouette becomes your very own cow – brightly painted on a gift or as a little herd on the party table. Just choose your size and get started.
