Wooden animals you can take apart and remake
A wooden animal usually has one silhouette. FableWood’s magnetic figures come apart into pieces that can be put back together in different ways. The grain stays visible while the joint gives the user an invitation to pull a figure apart and try another arrangement.
In practice. FableWood makes some of its wooden animal figures from pieces that join magnetically.
What to keep in view
Check which models are compatible and follow the maker’s age and magnet guidance.
Shape and joint have separate jobs
A piece has to look like part of an animal and also connect in a way someone can understand by hand. A strong visual shape makes the assembled result recognisable. Repeatable connection points let the same pieces play more than one role across compatible figures.
