Crafting with kids – wooden raindrops made of plywood

The craft table is set, the paints are ready, and the children can hardly wait to get started. With these wooden raindrops, you have a blank in your hands that you can paint, stick things on and hang up. It's just right for your next crafting afternoon. The smooth, untreated surface can become a mobile, a window decoration or a lovingly made money gift.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away, with no sawing or sanding of your own – because every raindrop is laser-cut and has smooth, clean edges.
• Your decoration matches your idea exactly, because you choose any height from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps – from a small hanging tag to a large window decoration.
• You can design it entirely to your taste, as the untreated plywood reliably takes paint, glue, oil or wood glaze.
• You save yourself placing lots of separate orders, because the raindrops come singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 – perfect for bigger projects, nurseries or shop window displays.
• What you're holding is a piece of craftsmanship from Germany – made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden raindrop makes a difference day to day

A ready-made cutout takes care of the tedious part and leaves you the fun part: the designing. Maybe you're crafting with children, preparing christening decorations or decorating the shop counter. Either way, you can focus on colours and ideas instead of tools. All the drops have the same clear silhouette. So the result looks calm and consistent. That's true whether a single piece hangs in the window or a hundred small drops make up a whole mobile.

Material & finish

The drops are made of 3 mm thick plywood and are laser-cut. That's why they have smooth edges. It's also why they have the typical brown edge that frames each piece with a fine dark line. The surface is untreated, so it is neither varnished nor glazed. This makes it ideal for painting, gluing on decorations, coating or oiling. Wood is a purely natural material. Its shade varies, the grain shows different patterns, and there may be small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind, not faulty.

How to use the wooden raindrops

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own raindrop – and a colourful rain shower appears in the window that everyone is proud of.
• Crafting gifts of money: attach notes or coins to several raindrops – and the envelope turns into a little “shower of money” that the birthday girl or boy will truly love.
• As a mobile or window decoration: combine different sizes and hang them up – and gentle movement brings the nursery or hallway to life.
• For a christening or baby shower: write a name and date on the raindrops – a personal decoration that stays on as a keepsake.
• In a shop or café: with the sets of 25, 50 or 100, you can decorate your shop window or counter with a spring and rainy-weather theme – quick to hang up, with a uniform look.

Good to know about the raindrop

Rain has always been seen as a symbol of blessing, growth and new beginnings – and the idea of a “shower of money” stands for unexpected good fortune. That's why the raindrop suits not only spring and window decorations, but also christenings, baby showers and lovingly presented gifts of money.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: keep the untreated raindrops dry and they'll keep their light, natural look for a long time. Avoid constant moisture – if you'd like to use them outdoors or in damp rooms, a coat of paint or a layer of oil will give the wood extra protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint and decorate the raindrops? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, glued, oiled or glazed.

How wide is a raindrop at a given height? As a guide: at a height of 10 cm, the width is 6 cm. The proportions stay the same across all sizes.

Why does the raindrop have a brown edge? The edge is created during laser cutting and is typical of this cutting method – it also ensures smooth, clean edges.

Do all the raindrops look the same? The shape is identical, but wood as a natural material is not: shade, grain and small knots vary – every piece is unique.

Are the raindrops suitable for crafting with children? Yes, the edges are laser-cut smooth and the smaller sizes are easy to handle – ideal for crafty afternoons together.

In the end, it's not about a wooden cutout. It's about the moment when the hand-painted rain shower hangs in the window and every drop tells its own little story. Simply choose your height and quantity – and get started.
