Why this wooden baby tiger makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations look the same everywhere. A motif you design yourself tells a little story. Use it as a place card, as a wall figure in the children's room or as a shared craft project in the afternoon. You can paint and label the baby tiger however you like. And because every child can design their own, each one ends up with a keepsake that lasts.

Material & finish

The baby tiger is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which makes the motif look warm and finished without any extra work. The top side has the scored outlines, the underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why it takes paint, glue and oil well. As a purely natural material, it can be lighter or darker. Small knots or differences in the grain are part of it. This makes every piece unique. The motif is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.
