This unicorn wears its decoration like a garden. A leafy vine curls down the length of its mane and a second runs along its tail, with small stars tucked between the leaves and a sprig burned onto each leg.

It is hand-carved from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax, nothing else, so the warm grain shows through the pale wood. Every leaf, star, and curl is burned in by hand, drawn into the wood rather than printed or painted on, which is why no two come out quite the same.

At a little over four inches it stands solidly on its own, sturdy through the legs and easy for small hands to set up and play with.

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.

We 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 unicorn is solid ash, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint and no varnish. The vines and stars are burned straight into the wood, so the pattern cannot scratch off or fade the way a printed design would, and the figure has a solid, reassuring weight. It is built to take years of handling and still earn a place on the shelf.

Who it's for

For the parent
You want a unicorn that looks handmade rather than mass-produced, with detail your child can actually study up close instead of a sticker that peels. You are looking for a piece beautiful enough to keep out on display and tough enough to be played with every day.
For the educator
You want a single figure that can carry a whole story, and a unicorn does that without needing batteries or rules. The burned vines give children something real to notice and describe, and the sturdy shape holds up to a full day of hands at the table.
For the gift-giver
This is the unicorn for the child who has the plastic ones already and is ready for something finer. The leafy vines and little stars make it feel like a small work of craft, the kind of gift a parent is quietly glad to have on the shelf too.

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

This unicorn slips into fairy tales, small-world scenes, and whatever story a child is telling that day. It pairs naturally with the Wooden Unicorn Toy, Star, the two making a little herd of their own, and looks at home among real moss, stones, and flowers, picking up the leafy theme it already carries. When play is done, it is handsome enough to stand on a shelf or a nature table rather than disappear into the toy box.

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.
