A mother fox stands alert on four slim legs with her long brush of a tail flowing out behind her and her sharp face turned, poised in that bright, sly moment before she slips away through the grass.

She is hand-carved from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax and nothing else, the pointed ears, the eyes, and the sweep of her fur burned into the wood by hand rather than painted on.

She has a lean, balanced feel in the hand and stands firmly on her own, every bit the quick, clever wanderer of the woodland.

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 fox is where this whole little world began for me, and a great part of her charm is how simple she is, just shape and grain. She is solid ash, finished with linseed oil and beeswax, with no paint and no varnish, and she has a lovely weight for her size. The detail is burned into the wood, never painted, so nothing chips, and she is the truest keeper of the lot.

Who it's for

For the parent
This fox suits a family that loves small-world play, and her lean, balanced shape stands firmly for a clever woodland mother.
For the educator
She serves as a centerpiece on a woodland nature shelf, where her alert pose invites stories of slipping through the grass.

She makes a lasting, handmade gift for a child who treasures the sly, quick creatures of the forest.

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 mother fox be the clever traveler of the story, slipping between the trees and outwitting everyone on the forest floor. She loves a pair of kits trailing behind her, so add Wooden Baby Fox, Standing and Wooden Baby Fox, Sitting.

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.
