Pedagogical benefits of imaginative play

They are also valuable in Waldorf education, as they support the child's natural development. 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 haptic experience. 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. Imaginative play with Ostheimer figures offers children educational benefits and creative development opportunities at the same time. By playing freely with the handcrafted figures, children develop their imagination and learn to express themselves in different scenarios.

This type of play is particularly valuable for their development. Whether it's recreating a farm scene or a forest adventure, children can create new fantasy worlds with these wooden toys and fully develop their creativity. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, endless play environments can be created.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer cat

The wood is sourced from responsibly managed forestry areas where ecological responsibility is a priority. Based on an artistically designed pattern, each figure is made by hand using traditional methods to preserve the natural structure of the wood. The organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear. The paints used are saliva-safe, free from animal ingredients and perfectly match the typical Ostheimer design. Transparent colors allow the individual wood grain to shine through and make each product unique.

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