Added educational value and creative toy

Compared to other toys, they create a warm, natural atmosphere and offer a haptic experience. They are also valuable in Waldorf education as they support the child's natural development. Ostheimer wooden figures and wooden animals are characterized by their soft, child-friendly shapes, which train the sense of touch and contribute to the development of the imagination. They encourage free, creative play and invite children to re-enact stories and scenes from everyday life. By playing freely with the wooden figures, children develop their imagination and learn to express themselves in different scenarios. Imaginative play with Ostheimer figures offers children educational benefits and creative development opportunities at the same time.

This type of play is particularly valuable for their development. The soft feel and restrained color scheme of Ostheimer figures not only encourage imagination, but also creativity. Children can create varied scenarios with the numerous figures of this wooden toy and immerse themselves again and again in imaginative play worlds.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer stick

All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design. Finally, a biological oil protects the color layer. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature. Based on a detailed pattern, each figure is created by hand so that the wood can unfold its full splendor.

Warning: Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age, as small parts can be detached or broken off and swallowed.
