A dragon coils low with wings half-furled and a long ridged spine, the kind of beast that guards a hoard and breathes smoke in a bedtime story.

It is a substantial, detailed piece, hand-carved from a single block of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax and nothing else, every overlapping scale burned into the wood by hand rather than painted.

It has a real, weighty presence in the hand and rewards a child who looks closely at the work.

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.

The dragon is the piece I show people when they ask why I bother with Tiny Fox Hole, because the carving is simply remarkable. It is solid ash, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint and no varnish, and every scale along its back is burned in by hand rather than painted. This is one of the larger, more intricate figures, with a genuine weight in the hand, and it is the sort of keeper a family hands down.

Who it's for

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 the dragon curl around a tower of blocks to guard its treasure, then take wing across the room when a knight draws near. Find it among the rest of the Tiny Fox Hole collection.

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.
