This giraffe is just one of the many animal cutouts in my Itty Bitty Animal Collection. Custom orders for sets featuring multiple different animals are welcome. Let me know your preferences, and I’ll be happy to create a personalized collection for you.

These toys are truly generational. I began making animal cutouts over forty years ago, and they quickly became favorites among my kids and nieces. Today, many of the original Itty Bitty Animals are still cherished and enjoyed by my grandchildren.

Each giraffe is crafted from small, leftover cutoffs from other projects, making every item unique. Dimensions, color, and wood type may vary depending on the materials I have on hand. If you have a preference for a specific type of wood, please reach out to arrange a custom order. This handcrafted wooden giraffe cutout is left unfinished, so you can personalize it or enjoy it as is. It stands freely and is stackable, making it ideal for imaginative play or creative projects. Each giraffe is made from assorted woods reclaimed from previous projects, so the wood type and thickness may vary, but it will always be at least 1/2 inch thick. Custom orders are always welcome.
