Ships by late July. We will email you the moment it ships.

The smallest of the bears stands up on its hind legs, nose forward and ears pricked, taking in the shape of the woods the way a curious cub does.

Like the rest of the set it is hand-carved from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax alone, the leaf and vine markings burned in by hand so they are part of the wood and will never chip or peel.

Light, smooth, and easy to grip, it is small enough to close a hand around and steady enough to stand on a shelf among the rest of the family.

From age three and up, through the Pre-K and early-primary years. A hand-carved figure made to be kept and played with for years.

Why it lasts.

Not every shelf needs another of the same animal, and that is part of why I chose Tiny Fox Hole for My Toy Wagon. This little bear is carved from solid ash and finished with only linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint or varnish, and it carries a real weight for its size that tells a child it was made to last.

Who it's for

For the parent
This bear cub fits a family that wants a sturdy figure the youngest child can carry everywhere and keep for years.
For the educator
It earns a place on a woodland play shelf, where it invites quiet storytelling about following along and finding the way home.
For the gift-giver
It makes a sweet, handmade gift on its own or paired with the grown bears to complete a family.

Details

Materials & construction

Every Tiny Fox Hole toy is hand-carved and hand-finished in a small family workshop from sustainably sourced solid wood, including linden, ash, beech, and birch. The natural grain is left to show, so each piece has its own character and no two are exactly alike.

Finishes are non-toxic and child-safe: water-based varnishes, pure linseed oil, and beeswax. All paints, color treatments, and sealants are certified to the European toy safety standard EN 71-3, which limits the migration of heavy metals if a toy is mouthed, chewed, or swallowed.

The designs draw on Montessori and Waldorf principles: simple, open-ended shapes that leave room for a child's imagination rather than dictating play.

Ways to play

Walk it behind its parent, set it nosing through the undergrowth, or line all three cubs up by size. It plays happily with the Wooden Baby Bear, Sitting, the Wooden Baby Bear, On All Fours, and its papa, the Wooden Bear, Standing.

Care & storage

Wipe clean with a dry cloth, or one that is barely damp. Never soak or submerge it in water, and do not leave it wet. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat to protect the wood and the linseed oil finish. If the surface feels dry over time, sand lightly with fine sandpaper and rub in a little pure linseed oil (raw, not boiled) or beeswax to bring the finish back. Store indoors somewhere dry. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years, and young children should be supervised during play.

Tiny Fox Hole We are Igor and Daria, the makers behind this small family workshop. Becoming parents changed everything for us. We saw how sensitive and open young children are to everything around them, and we wanted to give them an environment full of beauty and natural materials. Wood is a wonderful material: it fills children with warmth and a quiet, living energy. Our collection of handmade wooden toys brings together the spirit of Montessori and Waldorf play. Because each piece is hand-carved and hand-finished, every one is unique, with its own small characteristics, and helps nurture a child's eye for beauty and love of nature. All of our toys are made from organic, natural materials and non-toxic, child-safe finishes and paints. Welcome to the Tiny Fox Hole.
