Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer picture book

Each figure is handcrafted on the basis of a detailed pattern so that the wood can unfold its full splendor. The colors are saliva-proof, without animal ingredients and completely harmless to health - perfectly matched to the typical Ostheimer design. An organic oil protects the colors and preserves their radiance. Transparent colors and glazes emphasize the wood structure and make each piece truly unique. Wood from sustainably managed forests combines resource-conserving use with the protection of nature.

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