Why this cardboard rat makes a difference in everyday life
A ready-made cutout takes care of the trickiest part for you: neatly cutting out a delicate shape. That leaves you the fun side of crafting – designing, painting and decorating. You choose the size yourself. So the shape works just as well as table scatter on a birthday table as it does hung on a door or used as a reusable template.
Material & finish
The rat is made from bookbinding board. This is a solid board weighing 755 g/m². It is much sturdier than ordinary craft card. That makes it easy to paint and to stand up or hang. The edges are laser-cut, smooth and clean, so nothing frays. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia – in Germany and from 100% recycled material.

How to use the cardboard rat
- Crafting with children: Each child paints their own rat. At the end, a colourful rat parade hangs in the children's room.
- For a party or birthday: Scatter small rats across the table. Your theme is on show before the first guest arrives.
- As a door sign: Write on a large rat and hang it up. Guests will find the children's room or the party room at a glance.
- As a template: Trace the outline onto a wall, fabric or paper. You can repeat your motif as often as you like, always in the same shape.
- In a shop window or at a market stall: Combine several sizes and decorate them for the season. It's a display people notice, and you can change it quickly.
Good to know about the rat
In the Chinese zodiac, the rat is the first sign and opens the cycle. It traditionally stands for cleverness and skill. That makes the motif interesting not only for animal lovers. It also suits themed parties, birthdays in the Year of the Rat or small DIY lucky charms.
Care & durability
There isn't much you need to do. Simply store the untreated board somewhere dry and protect it from constant moisture. Then it will keep its shape for a long time. If you varnish or paint it, the surface becomes more resistant.
