Wooden penguin V3 for crafting – poplar plywood

It gets dark early outside. Indoors, you want things to feel cosy – but the window is still empty. The wooden penguin V3 brings a winter motif into your home that you can design just the way you like. Paint it, stick things on it or stand it up as it is. Made for your winter decorations – from a small table scatter piece to a large window figure.

What changes for you

• You decorate for winter in your own style. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, oil it or glue things onto it.
• You'll find the right size for every spot, from table scatter to shop window figure. Choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can get started straight away, with no sanding needed. The laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• You can tell it's a penguin at a glance, even without paint. The face and outlines are already marked with scored lines.
• You can supply larger craft groups or decoration projects without placing lots of separate orders. The penguin is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden penguin makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought winter decorations often look the same everywhere. A wood cutout you decorate yourself shows your own touch. In the window, on the laid table or as a small greeting on a card: the penguin in light poplar plywood suits the winter season. And when children join in, a piece of wood turns into an afternoon spent together.

Material & finish

The penguin is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif. The top side has the scored outline. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated – not varnished or stained. That way it takes paint, oil and glue well. Wood is a natural material. It can turn out lighter or darker and may show small knots or irregularities in the grain. This makes every piece one of a kind. The penguin is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your wooden penguin

• Christmas crafts with children: each child paints their own penguin. In the end, a whole penguin parade stands on the windowsill.
• Making Christmas cards: put a small penguin on the card. A simple greeting becomes something people keep.
• In the window or on the table: combine several sizes. Your winter decorations then look like a matching set.
• For money gifts and packaging: tie a penguin to the gift ribbon. Your parcel no longer looks like every other one.
• In your business: large penguins in the window of a bakery, café or shop. Quick to place, right for the season and no big setup needed.
• Our tip for small gifts: The small sizes work well as scatter pieces for cards and presents. Pop a few mini penguins in the envelope, and the winter magic comes along too.

Good to know about poplar plywood

Poplar is one of the lightest native woods and has a fine, even surface. For you, this means the penguins are easy to paint and decorate. Even larger figures stay light enough to hang in the window.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the penguins in a dry place and simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth. The wood is untreated, so avoid constant moisture. That way your winter decorations will look good for many seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the penguin or glue things onto it? Yes. The wood is untreated and takes paint, oil and glue well. You can also use it as it is.

Where does the brown edge come from? The penguin is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge, which gives the motif a clear outline. The edges are smooth and need no finishing.

Are colour differences in the wood normal? Yes. Wood is a natural material and varies in shade. Small knots or irregularities in the grain can occur. This makes every penguin one of a kind.

How wide is the penguin? The width depends on the height you choose. At 10 cm high, the penguin is 7.5 cm wide. The proportions stay the same in all sizes.

A wood cutout is only the start. Then comes the afternoon at the kitchen table, painting and laughing. And afterwards, your own little penguin family stands in the window. Simply choose the size and quantity that suit your project.
