Making and materials of the Ostheimer picture book

Each figure is handcrafted according to a carefully developed pattern and made from high-quality wood with attention to detail. A biological oil finish protects the paint layer. All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design. The finely coordinated, saliva-proof colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. Wood from sustainably managed forests combines resource-conserving use with the protection of nature.

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