Pedagogical aspect for playful creativity

The soft shapes stimulate the sense of touch and offer a calming, nature-loving atmosphere, which is also appreciated in Waldorf education. These toys not only promote playtime fun, but also creative learning. Ostheimer wooden animals and wooden figures are perfect for encouraging children's free play and imagination. Unlike technical toys, which often encourage passive play, Ostheimer wooden toys encourage children to actively invent stories. Playful learning with Ostheimer figures combines the fun of playing with a high educational added value. Children are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild with the simple, soft shapes.

At the same time, they develop basic social skills as they create their own stories and adventures. 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 use these wooden toys to create new fantasy worlds and unleash their creativity.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer baboon

Wood from certified forestry operations is sourced according to strict ecological standards to ensure sustainable use. Finally, organic oil is used to protect the colors. The colors are saliva-proof, harmless to health and of course free of animal ingredients. Transparent colors allow the unique wood grain to shine through and give each piece its individual character. Each shade of color is precisely matched to preserve the unmistakable Ostheimer design. Each figure is handcrafted according to a fixed pattern with great care to preserve the natural beauty of the wood.

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