Woodland animals

The woodland is the oldest setting for human imagination — the place where folklore begins, where fairy tales are set, where children instinctively locate mystery and adventure. The animals that inhabit it are familiar from stories long before most children encounter them in the wild.

This collection covers the full range of European and Northern woodland fauna: fox and fox cub, brown bear and bear cub, deer, doe and fawn, badger, hedgehog, hare, squirrel, wolf, otter, mole, bat, beaver, wild boar, and marten. The inclusion of adult animals alongside their young gives the collection a depth that supports more complex, sustained play — family groups, seasonal narratives, the rhythms of the natural world.

Each figure is carved from beech wood and hand-painted to reflect the real animal, with enough abstraction to leave room for the child’s own story. A natural fit for Waldorf nature tables, forest school settings, and any child who finds the world beyond the garden genuinely interesting.
