Traditional handmade toys mostly made of maple. This wood being an ideal product of nature due to its light colour and high resistance. The toys are painted by hand, using non-toxic, water-based paints. The resulting heirloom quaility figures are collected by all ages.

HOLZTIGER toys are all handmade. First of all, the contours are stamped out on wooden boards, then the figures are cut out with a saw. A number of different steps follow to smooth off the rough surfaces and edges.

The wood is then primed and finish-sanded - a process which results in a particularly smooth and soft surface. Next, water-based stains are applied by hand. After staining, a clear water-based layer is applied - also by hand -  to each figure to make it resistant to perspiration and saliva. Once the HOLZTIGER logo is burnt in, the final step is a trip to quality control before the wooden figure is released for its journey to the
playroom!
