Wooden turtle for crafting & painting, 3–50 cm

The craft afternoon with the children is planned. Paints and brushes are ready. Only one thing is missing: a shape that small hands can hold easily. A wooden turtle is just right for this. It has a clear silhouette with smooth edges. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply stand it up as decoration. An untreated cutout becomes a little favourite for the children's room, a window or a door sign.

What changes for you

• You'll find exactly the right size for your project. The wooden turtle can be ordered in widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can get started straight away with paint, glue or oil. The wood is untreated and takes any finish.
• Your craft project looks clean and finished. The smooth laser-cut edges have no splinters and need no reworking.
• No need to saw it out by hand. The flat silhouette made of 3 mm plywood comes ready cut and ready to use.
• You order as many as you really need. Choose a single piece or a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, for example for a children's group, school or club.

Why this wooden turtle makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-cut shape takes the tedious preparation out of your craft project. You can focus on the fun part: designing, painting, decorating. As a wooden turtle decoration, it brings natural wood and a calm, warm tone to a window, table or children's bedroom wall. Because the shape is so clear, it works even unpainted. With paint, it becomes your very own piece.

Material & finish

The turtle is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical, finely browned edge that frames the silhouette. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. So children can handle it easily. The wood stays natural: untreated, not varnished or glazed. Wood is a natural material, so every turtle turns out a little different. Some are lighter, some darker, with small knots or slight irregularities in the grain. That makes each piece one of a kind. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden turtle

• For the children's room: Glued onto a door sign or a wooden slice, the turtle greets everyone who comes in.
• In the window or on the table: Arrange a few silhouettes in different sizes. This creates a small underwater or garden scene.
• On cards and gifts: Stuck on, the flat shape turns a simple greetings card into something special you can touch.

Good to know about the turtle

The turtle has long been a symbol of calm, steadiness and a long life. After all, it always carries its home with it. That's why the shape is not just for crafting. It also works as a small gift for a housewarming or a new baby. Or as a lucky charm that says something nice without words.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The wood is untreated, so it doesn't like constant moisture. Placed or hung up indoors, the silhouette keeps its shape and looks good for a long time. If you paint or oil it, you add extra protection to the surface. You also give it your own colour.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the turtle straight away? Yes. The wood is untreated. You can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it, with no preparation needed.

Why does the edge have a brown rim? The turtle is laser-cut. This creates the typical, even brown edge. It also gives you smooth edges without splinters.

How tall is the turtle at my chosen width? The proportions stay the same. At a width of 10 cm, the height is 5.5 cm. Other sizes scale accordingly.

Do all turtles look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in lightness. It can show small knots or textures in the grain. This makes each piece one of a kind.

Can the turtle be used outdoors? The wood is untreated and should not stay damp for long periods. For outdoor use, we recommend a protective coat of paint or oil.
