Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer camel driver

Wood from sustainably managed forests combines resource-saving use with the protection of nature. It is then treated with organic oil to protect the colors. The saliva-safe paints are harmless to health, free from animal ingredients and precisely matched to the classic Ostheimer design. The natural water-based wood stains leave the wood grain visible and give each piece its uniqueness. The figures are traditionally handcrafted according to established patterns, whereby each piece remains unique.

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