Crafting with kids – wooden sea lion in plywood, 3–50 cm

Your child's birthday party is coming up. Or the bathroom needs a seaside look. Or the craft table is missing a motif everyone will love. A wooden sea lion is made for this. It is a blank for painting, sticking and decorating, just as you like. The silhouette arrives untreated. So you decide what it becomes: a colourful figure for crafting with kids or a plain natural wood piece for your decor.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, sticking or oiling straight away. The plywood is untreated and not varnished, so it takes paint and glue directly.
• You can craft in a relaxed way, even with kids. The laser-cut edges are smooth, so there are no rough spots to catch on.
• Your decor always suits the occasion. You choose any width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small table scatter motif to a large wall figure.
• You can plan group projects without reordering. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are enough for a nursery group, a school class or a shop window.
• You get clean workmanship from our own production. Every sea lion is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden sea lion makes a difference

A ready-made blank takes care of the hardest part for you: cutting it out cleanly. You can focus on the fun part. Designing, combining, hanging up. A crafting afternoon ends with a result that really looks like something. And your seaside decor looks planned rather than thrown together.

Material & finish

The sea lion is laser cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives smooth, clean edges. It also leaves the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif finely. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can easily paint it, stick things on it or oil it. Wood is a natural material and never completely uniform. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That makes every sea lion one of a kind. It is not a flaw, it is the nature of wood.

How to use the wooden sea lion

Good to know about the sea lion

The sea lion with a ball on its nose is one of the best-known animal motifs of all. Hardly any animal stands so much for playfulness and good spirits. That is why the silhouette works so well for under-the-sea birthday parties and bathroom decor.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. The wood is untreated, so it is best kept in dry indoor rooms. Avoid constant moisture. You can protect the surface further with your own varnish or coat of paint. That keeps the figure looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the sea lion is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it straight away.

Where does the brown edge come from? The cutout is laser cut. This creates the typical brown edge with smooth sides. It is a feature of this cutting method.

How tall is the figure at a given width? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Do all sea lions look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain. Small knots are normal. Every piece is one of a kind.

Is the cutout suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it is intended for dry indoor rooms. If you varnish or seal it yourself, you give the surface extra protection.

A wooden cutout is only the starting point. What counts is the moment the children proudly hold up their brightly painted sea lions. Or the moment your seaside decor creates exactly the mood you had in mind. Just choose your width and the quantity you need.
