The animals in my Itty Bitty Animal Collection are available in many sizes and large quantities. With a custom order, you can mix and match animals from the entire collection, or I can make animal cutouts from drawings or patterns you provide. Custom orders are welcome.

I made the first Itty Bitty Animal more than 40 years ago. The kids loved them. Today, they are family heirlooms that my grandchildren, great-nieces, and great-nephews play with.

Because wood availability can fluctuate, the types of wood I use may vary from piece to piece. If you have a preference for a particular wood, feel free to contact me for a custom order, and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

All the items I create are handmade using natural wood and wood products. Each piece is unique and may vary in appearance from one item to the next. The item you receive may differ slightly from the item pictured in the listing photos. The thickness of the wood used in your item may also vary slightly from the size specified in the listing.

It's important to note that the natural variations in wood grain, color, and knots make each piece one-of-a-kind, adding to its character and charm. The variations should be expected and are not considered defects. If you have any concerns about the variations or would like to request a specific look or size, please contact me before placing your order, and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

Still Cutting Out Little Animals After Forty Years

300 wooden elephants hand cut with a scroll from padauk hardwood.

 See My Itty Bitty Animal Collection

In the mid-1980s, I bought my first scroll saw and learned to use it by making toy animal cutouts from pallet wood. Forty years later, I still use a scroll saw to cut small animals out of wood. I am crafting elephants from Padauk wood instead of pallet wood this time. In this batch, there are over 300 elephants, which will eventually be turned into ornaments.

Animal Cutouts And A Tray Puzzle I Made In The '80s

 

Animal Cutouts And A Tray Puzzle I Made In The '80s


I made several of the elephant puzzles and a bucket full of animal cutouts. I learned to use my AMT scroll saw, cutting out animal shapes. These are still in use today. Wood toys can last a long time.

A wood toy baby elephant made from unfinished wood sanded smooth and ready to paint. The elephant is free-standing and makes a great stacking toy when combined with other similar toys.

My grandson has a lot of these small animal cutouts he loves to stack in many different ways. I think he plays with them more than any other toy I have made for him.

Approximate size:
Length: 3-inches
Height: 2-inches
Width: 3/4-inch

I make these from small cutoffs leftover from other projects. The dimensions will vary slightly from those listed above. The type of wood may also be different and depends on what materials I have available. If you would like a specific type of wood, please contact me to set up a custom order.

Other sizes and colors may be available via custom orders.

I make items by hand from natural wood and wood products. They can differ from one piece to the next. The one you receive may be slightly different from the item in the listing photos. Wood thickness may vary slightly from the stated size.

Not for children under three years old or kids that are still chewing things. If the toy breaks, small parts may present a choking hazard. Small children should not play with this toy without adult supervision.

Custom orders are always welcome in my shop. Please contact me with your needs.
