Educational value and creative fun

Thanks to their soft edges and natural materials, they offer a haptic experience that stimulates the sense of touch and invites playful learning. Unlike technical toys, which often restrict creativity, the figures offer countless opportunities to invent new stories. The handmade Ostheimer wooden figures stimulate children's creativity and create a warm, natural atmosphere. These figures are particularly popular in the Waldorf approach, which focuses on free play. The natural material and simple shapes allow children to express themselves freely and use their imagination. This promotes both their emotional development and their social skills. Ostheimer figures support children's development by stimulating creative play and being fun at the same time.

Ostheimer figures offer an impressive variety of animals and figures that enable countless imaginative scenarios. This durable wooden toy stimulates creativity and is a perfect tool for varied stories. Children can create different play worlds, from farms to fairytale kingdoms.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer child

The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, which ensures responsible use of natural resources. 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. Each figure is handcrafted according to a fixed pattern with great care to preserve the natural beauty of the wood.

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