Added educational value and imaginative play

These toys are particularly valuable in Waldorf education as they support free play and creativity. They promote haptic learning thanks to their soft, natural shapes that stimulate the sense of touch. The handmade Ostheimer wooden figures create an environment that encourages children to develop their creativity freely. Compared to plastic toys, Ostheimer figures offer a durable, natural alternative that is ideal for use in nurseries and families. Encouraging imagination and creative play with Ostheimer figures is a central aspect of children's development. This strengthens both imagination and problem-solving skills.

The handmade figures help children to learn through play and develop their creativity. The soft feel and the restraining color design of the Ostheimer figures not only encourage imagination, but also creativity. Children can create varied scenarios with the numerous figures of this wooden toy and immerse themselves again and again in imaginative play worlds.

Making and materials of the Ostheimer child

Each figure is made by hand according to a fixed pattern with great care in order to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. The use of transparent colors, which emphasize the natural wood grain, makes each product unique. The saliva-safe and non-toxic paints are carefully matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design and contain no animal ingredients. The final oil protects the colors sustainably. The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation.

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