Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer badger

Wood from responsibly managed forestry operations guarantees resource-conserving use and long-term sustainability. Each figurine is crafted with precision according to a defined pattern, which gives the wood its unique appearance. All colors used are saliva-safe, without animal ingredients and precisely matched to the Ostheimer design. Thanks to the transparent colors, the wood grain remains visible, making each piece unique. The organic oil protects the colors.
