Pre-order open

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

Here a raccoon sits back on its haunches with its front paws drawn together, masked face tilted as if it is turning some small found treasure over and over in its clever hands.

It is carved by hand from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax alone, the mask, the banded tail, and the fur burned into the wood by hand instead of painted.

Rounded and warm to hold, it sits steadily on its own and has a friendly, settled presence on a shelf or in play.

Age Recommendations

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.

I picked this raccoon up and just liked the shape of it in my hand, simple and honest, which is reason enough to carry it. It is solid ash, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint and no varnish, and it has a satisfying weight for its size. The markings are burned in rather than painted, so nothing can flake away, and it is the sort of piece that becomes a keeper.

Who it's for

For the parent

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

Let this one be the thoughtful raccoon who sits by the water sorting pebbles and shiny finds. Gather the whole band around it with Wooden Raccoon, Standing, Wooden Baby Raccoon, Sitting, and Wooden Baby Raccoon, 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.
