Pedagogical advantages for creative play fun

Their soft shapes stimulate the sense of touch and offer a calming, nature-loving atmosphere, which is also valued in Waldorf education. Unlike technical toys, which often encourage passive play, Ostheimer wooden toys encourage children to actively invent stories. Ostheimer wooden animals and figures are perfect for encouraging children's free play and imagination. These toys not only promote playtime fun, but also creative learning. 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. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, children can create imaginative scenarios. Whether animals, people or fairy tale figures - the variety of these wooden toys encourages creative play and allows exciting adventures to be recreated in ever new worlds.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer cat

The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation. Biological oil protects the colors. The precisely matched, transparent colors emphasize the wood structure and give each piece its individual touch. The saliva-safe paints are free from animal products and harmless to health - perfect for Ostheimer design. Based on a carefully developed design, each figure is created by hand and allows the natural beauty of the wood to come to the fore.

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