The next magnetic wooden animals from FableWood: Introducing the Bulls and the mighty Elephants

Story

We’re back, baby!

The 3 time Crowdfunding success is back. Verified by thousands of families – More than 30.000 animals shipped worldwide and over 150.000 trees planted???

Yes. The next generation of magnetic animals are stampeding their way into the FableWood-family, and we couldn’t be happier.

Meet the new crew

We have created four new animals who will be joining the FableWood family. Like the rest of the animals, these new ones are made from North American walnut and ash and consists of 2-6 magnetic pieces.

So without further ado, let us introduce…

 

The Bull. At first sight, you might think that The Bull is quite aggressive… but that is not the case for this one. He loves to just strut around and take in his surroundings, and he is always protective of those he cares about.

The Bull | 6 pcs | Noble – Strong – Protective

The Little Bull. The young bull is very imaginative and he always comes up with the funniest games, which makes him very popular among the other animal cubs. But once in a while, his boldness will get him in trouble. 

The Little Bull | 2 pcs | Wild – Determined – Bold 

 

The Mother Elephant. Mother Elephant might not be as big as Father Elephant. But don’t be fooled by her size and gentle nature… she is just as powerful. If her family is in trouble, you better watch out!

The Mother Elephant | 6 pcs | Gentle – Mighty – Loving 

 

The Father Elephant. Father Elephant is a big and strong guy. He has excellent leader skills, a powerful appearance and a calming nature, which makes him very respected by the other elephants.

The Father Elephant | 6 pcs | Gigantic – Calm – Powerful

Complete the Elephant Family. Many of you have asked for a parent for our popular Little Elephant and we have granted your wish… x2. We have not only created one but two parents for the Little Elephant – a big Mother Elephant and an even bigger Father Elephant to complete the Elephant family. You can add the Little elephant as add-on at checkout.

The Elephant Family: Small – Large – Extra Large

 

Verified by thousands of families

Since we began our journey in 2018 we have shipped +30.000 of our magnetic wooden animals to thousands of families worldwide. 

Perks

Yes – approved for children…

 Like the rest of the FableWood family, the animals meet the safety requirements for toys put forward by the Danish Safety Technology Authority and the European Union. Thereby, FableWood is CE approved from 1 year and up.

 … and approved for grown ups. 

The dual function of the animals means that they can both be used as high-end toys for children and as beautiful and fun interior design for your home. The only limit is your imagination. ?

COMBINE and CREATE

These new ones are a great addition to the collection because they offer so many new fabulous constellations of creatures. Just look at these new fun fables! Just imagine all the fun creatures you can make by combining these new ones with your FableWood collection.

We are still planting trees

As always, we are planting 5 trees for every animal we sell in collaboration with Eden Reforestation Projects. This is a project that we are very proud to be a part of because we are contributing to reforestation and at the same time help alleviate poverty and empower local communities.

Eden Reforestations Projects does a wonderful job at replanting deforested areas, while empowering sustainable local communities

Since we started the FableWood project, we have planted more than 150.000 trees. We’re making a difference. Environmentally and socially. Thank you for supporting this journey!

Risks and challenges

When you are working with magnets you want to make sure that things are done properly. That is why we have teamed up with a toy manufacturer experienced in delivering quality products that are compliant with the strict European standards. We have also received guidance from the governmental agency for toy safety in Denmark (Sikkerhedsstyrelsen) as well as an independent consumer lab specializing in toy safety.

Environmental commitments

Long-lasting design

FableWood is made to last. Wood ages beautifully and the magnets have lifelong durability.

Environmentally friendly factories

The factory in Vietnam is continously decreasing their environmental footprint, for instance, they have recently been nstalling solar panels in order to become self-sufficient on electricity.

Planting trees

Our partners at Eden Reforestation are planting 5 trees for every animal sold.
