Sick of cheap plastic figurines of commercial characters? Wooden figures are the natural, back to basics alternative for parents who are looking for well-made, open-ended play characters to inspire a childês creativity.

Our wooden figures are simply designed, yet accented with the perfect amount of realistic detail to inspire all sorts of stories, games, and play scenarios. Figures by Holztiger have the look of a classic European toy, while meeting all the modern safety standards. Each wooden figure is machine milled into cutouts, then hand sanded, finished and painted. Their product line ranges from big, chunky wooden animals like lions, gorillas, whales, and horses to small wooden animals like song birds, baby calves, fish, and house cats like the Standing Cat. They also make a wide range of play pieces like wooden trees and fences as well, along with a host of biblical and medieval characters, in the forms of Moses and Noah, Kings and Queens!

If youêre looking for something with a more modern spin, the sleek and simple Dutch creations by Cheekeyes could be just what you are looking for. On their sides, the Cheekeyes wooden animals appear unpainted, or nearly so, with vibrant accents applied in a minimalist style to their edges. Cheekeyes are available in wooden animal sets and landscape sets, allowing your child to place their critters in any scenario they prefer. Want to put the Forest Animals into the Arctic? Go ahead!

The fun and funky Anamalz are another great choice for kids looking for a wooden figure with a bit of a quirky edge. These wooden figures are of course primarily composed of wood, but also include bendable joints and the occasional furry or felted accent to give the toy a bit of personality. These tiny wooden animals, like the Wooden Ram each fit into the palm of your hand, but are clearly ready to just jump to life!
