The baby bear is the one a child reaches for first. It stands on its own four feet, small enough to close a hand around and ready to follow wherever the story goes.

It is hand-carved from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax, nothing else, so the grain shows through warm and smooth. A wildflower sprig is burned into its side by hand, with a small leaf above the eye, fine dark lines against the pale wood.

It is an easy size for small hands to hold and to stand up on their own. This is the little one a child speaks for and carries in a pocket, the bear that goes everywhere.

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 this at My Toy Wagon because children need small things to hold. This bear cub is solid ash, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, nothing synthetic and no paint to wear off. It works as well on its own as it does alongside the Wooden Bear, Mama. Children return to small, honest figures like this one long after more complicated toys have been set aside.

Who it's for

For the parent
This cub suits a family that wants a first wooden toy small enough to slip into a pocket yet sturdy enough for everything a young child puts it through.
For the educator
It earns its place in a small-world tray, compact enough to combine with other materials and open-ended enough to become whatever a child needs.
For the gift-giver
It makes a treasured, handmade gift for the child who loves tiny, perfect things to carry everywhere.

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

Small enough to carry anywhere. Use it in small-world scenes, forest play, or nature storytelling. Pairs with the Wooden Bear, Mama and the Wooden Bear, Papa.

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.
