HolzWald Duck male

The male duck is sold as a single figure, but it pairs naturally with the HolzWald duckling and other pond animals in the range. Setting the 7.5cm-long adult beside the smaller duckling builds a simple family scene that invites gentle story and counting play.

It measures 6.7cm high, 7.5cm long and 2.5cm wide. The flat carved base beneath its body keeps it upright on a table, shelf or play mat, so it stands steadily on its own without needing to lean against anything during play.

It belongs in pond, farmyard and riverside settings, gliding across an imagined stretch of blue fabric or waddling among hens and geese. As an open-ended figure it has no set role, so a child decides whether it leads a flock or simply floats through a quiet water scene.

Each duck is carved from local wood, its edges rounded through several sanding passes for a smooth feel. It is then coloured with natural Biofa dyes and polished with a quality oil, so the wood grain remains visible and the surface stays warm to the touch.

It is handmade in a small Georgian workshop that has crafted wooden figures for over 35 years. The workshop uses local wood, finishes each piece by hand, and offers inclusive employment to people in the local community, including workers with disabilities.

Yes. It is a single solid carving with no beak, wings or tail glued on separately, so nothing can detach. The corners are softened by sanding and the finish is smooth, making it suitable for toddlers upward who can safely handle a small figure under supervision.

Wipe it with a dry cloth, using a barely damp one for marks, then dry it at once. Keep it away from water and dishwashers, and store it out of prolonged direct sun so the natural dyes stay bright and the oiled surface keeps its glow.
