A mother bear has a particular quality of stillness. She is not merely calm; she is watching.

She is hand-carved from a single piece of solid wood and rubbed with pure linseed oil, nothing more, so the grain runs warm and clear across her back. Delicate wildflowers are burned into her by hand, a sprig climbing each leg and a small leaf by her ear, fine dark lines against the pale wood. The form itself is spare, the silhouette clear at a glance, and the wood is sanded smooth wherever small hands take hold of her.

She belongs to a family. Stand her with the father bear and the baby bear and the three of them are complete, the kind of set a child lines up, separates, and brings back together through a hundred small stories.

Why it lasts.

We carry the Tiny Fox Hole bears at My Toy Wagon because we look for figures that let imagination do the work. This mother bear is ash wood, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, with a floral motif burned in by hand rather than painted on. Nothing chips or peels with play. She is one of a small woodland family and sits naturally alongside other Waldorf woodland figures.

Who it's for

For the parent
You are looking for a toy that will last well beyond this birthday, something made with real craft that your child will still be reaching for at seven. You want open-ended, screen-free play centred on a figure that feels genuinely special in small hands.
For the educator
You value materials that invite children to project their own stories, and this mama bear holds her own on a nature table or in a small-world tray without directing the play. Her natural finish and honest materials make her a grounding presence in any imaginative environment.
For the gift-giver
For the child who loves animals, stories, and things that feel real rather than plastic, this mama bear is a gift they will remember. She is the kind of present that sits on a shelf between play sessions and still looks beautiful.

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. Colored 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

Standalone woodland play, or alongside the other Tiny Fox Hole woodland animals. Use her in small-world scenes with natural materials, family storytelling, or quiet shelf display.

Care & storage

Wipe clean with a dry cloth or one that is barely damp. Never soak or submerge in water, and avoid leaving the figurine wet. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to preserve the wood and the linseed oil finish. If the surface feels dry over time, lightly sand with fine sandpaper and apply a small amount of pure linseed oil or beeswax to restore the finish. Store indoors in a dry place. This toy is not suitable for children under 3 years. 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.
