Description

The beautiful figures are made in a small manufactory in Georgia, which has been producing high-quality and educationally valuable wooden toys since 1997. With much love and dedication, toys that capture the soul of animals and people have been produced there for over 35 years. Only local woods of the highest quality are used. The edges are rounded and finely sanded in several work steps so that they are pleasant and soft to the touch. Finally, they are painted with natural dyes (Biofa) and finally polished with high-quality oil. The workshop is characterised by inclusion in the small community, fair pay and a good and friendly working atmosphere. This is how sustainable toys are created that are loved and passed on from generation to generation. Each toy is simple enough to inspire imaginative play, but accurate enough to be realistic. In this way, children's sense of beauty and imagination is encouraged.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the HolzWald hippopotamus look like?

The hippo is carved long and low with a broad barrel body, short legs and a wide, blunt muzzle. Its heavy, grounded shape captures the animal's bulk, and the smooth hand-carving gives it a rounded, sculptural feel that stands out among the slimmer HolzWald figures.

Why do families choose handmade wooden animals like this hippo?

These wooden animals are carved by hand from local wood, so this hippo carries its own grain and warmth rather than a moulded uniformity. It is one solid piece with rounded, finely sanded edges, coloured in natural dyes and oil-polished for a smooth, warm surface.

How big is the wooden hippopotamus?

It measures 14cm long, 7.6cm tall and 2.5cm wide. The long, low body gives it a wide, stable base that stands firmly without tipping, and its manageable height makes it easy for a child to grip around the middle.

Does the low hippo stand steadily on a shelf?

Yes. Its long 14cm body and short legs create a broad footprint, so it sits solidly on a flat surface and resists tipping during play. That stability also makes it a dependable base animal in a river or watering-hole small-world.

What scenes suit a wooden hippopotamus?

As an open-ended figure it fits river, swamp and watering-hole play. Children can wallow it in a pretend waterway, group it with HolzWald elephants and rhinos, and explore how hippos live, all led by their own imagination rather than fixed rules.

How do I care for the wooden hippo?

Wipe it with a dry or lightly damp cloth and dry it promptly. Despite the animal's love of water, keep this figure away from soaking, dishwashers and long, direct sunlight so the natural dyes and grain stay in good condition.

Where is the hippopotamus made?

It is handmade in a small Georgian workshop that has crafted wooden toys since 1997, over 35 years. Because each hippo is carved and finished by hand, slight variations in grain and tone make every piece unique.
