A gentle cow ambles along with her head dipped, a spray of carved blossoms trailing across her side like a meadow she wandered through.

She is cut by hand from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax and nothing more, and each flower and petal is burned into the wood by hand rather than painted.

She feels solid and cool in the palm, the kind of piece a child returns to over and over.

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.

The floral cow won me over with that band of hand-burned blossoms, proof of how much care goes into a single toy. She is solid ash, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint and no varnish, and the flowers are scorched into the grain by hand instead of painted on. She has a pleasing weight, she stands square, and she is made to be a keeper that earns a place in the family.

Who it's for

For the parent
This floral cow suits a family that loves a figure full of careful detail, and she is solid and cool to return to again and again.
For the educator
She anchors a farm or seasonal play shelf, where her band of hand-burned blossoms invites a closer look.
For the gift-giver

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

Send her out to graze among the wildflowers, then home to the barn at milking time. She rounds out the farmyard alongside the Wooden Horse, Mama and the Wooden Baby Horse.

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.
