The pterodactyl spreads its wings wide, crest swept back and ready to ride the wind, the watcher that rules the prehistoric sky.

It is shaped by hand so no two come out quite alike, the span of its wings and its pointed crest grooved into the wood rather than painted on.

It has a light, solid feel in the hand, made to swoop and soar over a child's prehistoric world.

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

Why it lasts.

This is the kind of piece I started My Toy Wagon for. A wooden pterodactyl, handmade so no two are quite alike, sturdy enough to be loved hard for years and then handed down. It is one of a whole prehistoric world a child can gather, from gentle plant-eaters to the fiercest hunters.

Who it's for

For the parent
For families who choose fewer, better toys, the pterodactyl is solid wood with a natural finish and no plastic, beautiful on a shelf and sturdy enough for daily play.
For the educator
For Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio spaces that value natural materials, it brings prehistoric small-world play to the table and holds up to a full day of handling.
For the gift-giver
For anyone after a keepsake gift, the pterodactyl joins a whole herd of dinosaurs to build a prehistoric world over time.

Ways to play.

Send the pterodactyl wheeling overhead, keeping watch over the herd below. It belongs with the rest of the dinosaurs, like the Euoplocephalus and the Stegosaurus.

Details

Materials & construction

This piece is shaped and finished entirely by hand in a small family workshop, so the natural grain is left to show and no two are exactly alike. It is solid ash, sealed with pure linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint and no varnish.

The finishes are non-toxic and child-safe. The wood and finishes used across the line 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 shape is kept simple and open-ended in the Montessori and Waldorf tradition, made to leave room for a child's imagination rather than direct it.

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.

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 shaped and finished by hand, 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 natural materials and non-toxic, child-safe finishes. Welcome to the Tiny Fox Hole.
