Educational benefits and creative play

They encourage free, creative play and invite you to re-enact stories and scenes from everyday life. 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. Compared to other toys, they create a warm, natural atmosphere and offer a haptic experience. They are also valuable in Waldorf education as they support the child's natural development. Ostheimer figures support children's development by stimulating creative play and being fun at the same time. 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. Children can create varied scenarios with the numerous figures on this wooden toy and immerse themselves again and again in imaginative play worlds. The soft feel and restrained color scheme of the Ostheimer figures not only encourage imagination, but also creativity.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer crib

They are perfectly matched to the Ostheimer design. Transparent glazes allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unmistakably unique. Finally, organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear. All paints used are saliva-safe, harmless to health and contain no animal ingredients. The figures are traditionally handcrafted according to established patterns, whereby each piece remains unique. The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature.

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