Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer bear

The colors are saliva-safe, 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 figurine is made by hand according to a fixed pattern with great care in order to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature.
