Leaping frog – wooden cutout for crafts, 5–50 cm

The craft table is set and the paints are ready. The children can hardly wait for their shape. This leaping frog wooden cutout is made for moments like these. It is a clear plywood silhouette that you can paint, decorate or simply use as it is. Painted, the frog brings a fresh splash of spring colour to an empty windowsill.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting and painting straight away. The wood is untreated and takes paint, glue or oil directly.
• Your project works out even in children's hands – thanks to the smooth, laser-cut edges with no rough spots.
• You'll find exactly the right size for your idea – because you can choose the frog from 5 cm to 50 cm wide in 1 cm steps.
• You're ready for groups too, from children's birthday parties to craft afternoons – with sets of 10 to 100 pieces.
• Your decorations look planned rather than thrown together – because every silhouette is cleanly finished and cut to exactly the same shape.

Why this wooden frog makes a difference every day

Shop-bought decorations often look generic. A shape you design yourself tells your own story. The wooden frog gives you a basic shape that does the groundwork for you. It still leaves plenty of room for your own ideas. Use it in the window, on the spring table or as part of a gift. The plywood feels light and pleasant to hold. It shows the open grain of the natural wood, which printed decorations don't have.

Material & finish

The frog is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge that outlines the silhouette nicely. The edges are smooth. The surface is left natural – not varnished, not glazed. So you can paint it, oil it or stick things on it, just as you like. Wood is a natural material. Colour and grain vary, and small knots may appear. This makes every piece unique and is not a defect. Every cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden frog

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own frog – and at the end, a whole colourful frog family hangs in the window.
• As a lucky charm on a money gift: Put a little frog on the card – and a plain envelope becomes a gift with a wink.
• On the spring or Easter table: One frog at each place, with a name written on it – and the place card doubles as a take-home gift.
• At nursery, school or craft group: With a set of 25, 50 or 100 pieces, every child has the same basic shape. You save preparation time and the results look consistent.
• In the shop window or on the counter: Combine several sizes for a seasonal display that is quick to set up and looks natural.

Good to know about the frog

The frog has long been seen as a lucky charm and a sign of spring. When you can hear the frogs again, winter is finally over. That's why the shape suits spring and Easter decorations especially well. It also suits money gifts with good wishes. And it fits any occasion where you'd like to give someone a little bit of luck.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth. As the plywood is untreated, it prefers dry conditions. Avoid constant moisture and wet. If you paint or oil the frog, you protect the surface and choose the look at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the frog? Yes. The wood is untreated and can be painted, oiled, decorated with stick-ons or designed in other ways.

Where does the brown edge come from? The frog is laser-cut. The fine brown edge is typical of this process and also gives you smooth edges.

How tall is the frog at a given width? As a guide: at 10 cm wide, it is 9 cm tall. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Why don't all the cutouts look exactly the same? Wood is a natural material. Colour, grain and small knots vary – this makes every piece unique.

What you get is more than a piece of plywood. It's an afternoon in which a plain silhouette turns into a hand-painted lucky frog. And it's the smile when the frog finds its place in the window. Just choose your size and quantity – you design the rest.
