Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Beaver

The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature. Following a carefully developed design, each figurine is handcrafted to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. Finally, an organic oil protects the paint layer.

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