Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer badger

Based on an artfully designed pattern, each figure is traditionally handcrafted to preserve the natural structure of the wood. The precisely coordinated colors give the Ostheimer design its unmistakable look. An organic oil provides the final protection for the colors, which are saliva-proof and contain no animal ingredients. Transparent colors leave the wood grain visible and give each piece a unique touch. The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature.

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