Educational benefits of creative play

The natural material and simple shapes allow children to express themselves freely and use their imagination. Ostheimer figures support child development by encouraging creative play while also being fun.

This promotes both their emotional development and their social skills. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, endless play environments can be created. Whether it's recreating a farm scene or a forest adventure, children can always create new fantasy worlds with these wooden toys and let their creativity run wild.

Manufacture and materials of Ostheimer angels

The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, where the conservation of natural resources is a top priority. The figures are carefully handcrafted according to a tried-and-tested pattern, with the natural wood always taking center stage. The natural water-based wood stains allow the wood grain to show through and give each piece its uniqueness. The saliva-proof colors are harmless to health, free from animal ingredients, and precisely matched to the classic Ostheimer design. To protect the colors, the wood is finally treated with organic oil.

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