Wooden Number

Shipping and tax calculated at checkout.

Pre-order open

Ships in early July. We will email you the moment it ships.

A wooden number with a small peg on the bottom, made to stand in a Waldorf birthday ring or on a single stand to mark a child's age. Set the number for the year, light the candles around it, and you have the same warm centerpiece at every birthday.

Each number is shaped by hand and finished with linseed oil, smooth and natural, with no paint and nothing to chip. The peg fits the holes in the birthday ring and in the flower, star, and round stands, and you can combine digits to mark any age, a one and a zero for a tenth birthday and on from there.

Each number stands about two and a half inches tall. It is sold on its own, so the ring or stand shown alongside it is purchased separately.

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. These numbers are solid wood, finished with linseed oil, with no paint and no varnish, so there is nothing to chip or flake. A number used once a year and handled with a little care lasts through a whole childhood, and a family can collect the digits they need as the birthdays add up.

Who it's for

For the parent
You want a birthday tradition you build on, not a foil number you throw away after the party. You are looking for a natural, lasting piece that marks your child's age in the same ring or stand year after year.
For the educator
You value a simple, tactile way to show a number. In a classroom these pegged numbers stand in a ring or on a stand for birthdays, and they double as counting and number-recognition pieces the rest of the year.
For the gift-giver
A single number makes a sweet, specific gift for a birthday, and it slots straight into a family's birthday-ring set. It is handmade, it lasts, and it means something on the day.

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. 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

On a birthday, stand the number in the ring or on a stand and surround it with candles for the year. Combine two digits for ages into double figures. Between birthdays the numbers work as counting and matching pieces, or as a simple way to mark a date on a seasonal table.

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.
