Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer cradle

Each figure is created according to a clearly defined design and is finely handcrafted to present the wood in its pure form. The wood is sourced from sustainable European forestry, which stands for environmentally friendly and responsible use of resources. The organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear. The paints used are saliva-safe, free from animal ingredients and perfectly matched to the typical Ostheimer design. Transparent colors allow the individual wood grain to shine through and make each product unique.

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