Wooden animal lion

He is the king of the savannah, his majestic roar can be heard for miles across the grasslands. But it may also be the lion in your child, who has just finished his siesta, is now looking after his pride and has to put cheeky rivals in their place ... After all, lions are considered the most social predatory cats on earth, as they are the only big cats that live in prides. And they seem to spend the whole day lying in the sun and lazing around. But appearances are deceptive. Although they do not have to worry about enemies, because in the savannah they have no natural enemies (except for the rival lion), but a hunt is exhausting, consumes a lot of energy and ends far from always successful. This big lion could lead your offspring's pride on the hunt (yes, male lions also participate in the hunt for big game). Loud thumping from the nursery, however, could indicate that the buffalo escaped after all, despite solid support from the feline predator made of solid maple wood ...

Simple enough to stimulate the imagination, at the same time designed so close to nature to be recognizably realistic: A small manufactory in Georgia makes these massive animal figures according to these rules of play. Cut from a slice of fine-pored maple wood about three centimeters thick, the design of the figures concentrates so skilfully on the essential characteristics that the animal can already be recognized by its outline. The carefully chamfered edges and the smooth sanding of each wooden figure, which takes place in several work steps, flatter the sense of touch, the painting with fine natural colors allows the grain of the wood to continue to shine through, and the final treatment with an oil once again emphasizes the natural warmth and velvety feel of the natural material.

Animal figures like these literally leave a lot of room for play, challenging your child's imagination to be especially creative. So don't be surprised if, in the middle of your child's room, the savannah suddenly comes to life and your offspring plunges into the adventures of a safari, racing with the pack, swinging through the branches of the baobab tree or trumpeting their way through the vast grasslands. (Or maybe it's just feeding the animals at the zoo).
