A unicorn asks only one thing of a child: imagination. This one gives it plenty to work with, a sturdy little body, a single horn, a curling mane, and a sky of small stars burned across it.

It is hand-carved from a single piece of ash and finished with linseed oil and beeswax, nothing else, so the pale grain shows through. The mane is drawn in tight spirals, a starburst sits on the shoulder, and fine stars scatter down the body and legs. Each marking is drawn in fire, burned into the wood by hand rather than printed or painted on.

At a little over four inches it stands solidly on its own, with the chunky, planted stance that makes these pieces easy for small hands to stand up and play with.

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 horn, the mane, and the stars are all burned into the wood by hand, so the design is part of the piece and there is nothing on the surface to chip or peel. It has real weight and a steady stance, the kind of toy that takes years of play and still looks worth keeping.

Who it's for

For the parent
You want a unicorn that feels like a real, made object rather than a glittery plastic one, something with weight and craft that will not look dated in a year. You are looking for the kind of piece a child loves now and may well keep on a shelf long after.
For the educator
You want an open-ended figure that invites storytelling without dictating it, and a unicorn does exactly that, sitting easily in fairy tales, small-world play, and a child's own invented worlds. Its simple, sturdy shape stands up well to busy hands at a table.
For the gift-giver
A wooden unicorn is an easy gift to love, familiar enough that a child lights up at it and special enough that it does not get lost among the plastic. The burned stars and curling mane make it feel handmade and a little magical, which is exactly what you want from a unicorn.

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 is at home wherever a child's imagination takes it, from fairy tales and small-world scenes to a windowsill parade of favorite animals. It pairs naturally with the Wooden Unicorn Toy, Flower, the two making a little herd of their own, and it stands well among real moss, stones, and bark, or simply on a shelf where its burned stars catch the light. It is the kind of piece that gets played with hard and displayed proudly in equal measure.

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.
