Pedagogical aspect for fun in creative play

They are also valuable in Waldorf education, as they support the natural development of the child. Ostheimer wooden figures and wooden animals are characterized by their soft, child-friendly shapes, which train the sense of touch and contribute to the development of creativity. They encourage free, creative play and invite children to re-enact stories and scenes from everyday life. Compared to other toys, they create a warm, natural atmosphere and offer a tactile experience. The natural material and simple shapes allow children to express themselves freely and use their imagination. Ostheimer figures support children's development by stimulating creative play and being fun at the same time.

This promotes both their emotional development and their social skills. Whether animals, people or fairy tale characters - the variety of these wooden toys encourages creative play and allows exciting adventures to be recreated in ever new worlds. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, children can create imaginative scenarios.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer badger

Each figure is created according to a clearly defined design and is finely handcrafted to present the wood in its pure form. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design. Finally, an organic oil protects the paint layer. The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, which ensures responsible use of natural resources.

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