Wooden Bear, Standing

Ships in early July. We will email you the moment it ships.

This wooden bear stands tall and upright on its haunches, steady and watchful, the way a bear rises to get a better look.

It is hand-carved from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax, nothing else, so the grain runs warm and clear from back to feet. A trailing vine of leaves and small berries is burned down one side by hand, with a small leaf above the eye, fine dark lines against the pale wood.

It has a real weight in the hand and stands on its own among the rest of the bears.

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 carry Tiny Fox Hole at My Toy Wagon because they make pieces that are as beautiful as they are simple, just wood and a natural finish, nothing more. This bear is solid ash, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint and no varnish. It is hand-carved and substantial, the kind of figure that holds up to years of play and looks well on a shelf between games.

Who it's for

For the parent
This bear suits a family that wants a figure with real presence, one that anchors a scene rather than getting lost in the toy basket.
For the educator
It takes the lead in small-world play without dictating the story, and its upright stance brings a natural sense of scale to any woodland arrangement.
For the gift-giver
It makes a substantial, handmade gift for a child who tells big stories with small figures.

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. Where a piece carries a decorative motif, it is burned into the wood by hand, a technique called pyrography, never painted or printed.

Finishes are non-toxic and child-safe: water-based varnishes, pure linseed oil, and beeswax. Colorful pieces are treated with Biofa natural wax. 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

Sits upright with real presence in a scene. Use it in small-world play, forest scenes, and storytelling. Pairs with the Wooden Baby 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 for babies and toddlers 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.
