Added educational value and creative play

The toys are also valuable in Waldorf education as they support the child's natural development. Compared to other toys, they create a warm, natural atmosphere and offer a haptic experience. 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 the imagination. They encourage free, creative play and invite children to re-enact stories and scenes from everyday life. At the same time, they develop basic social skills as they create their own stories and adventures. Children are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild with the simple, soft shapes.

Learning through play with Ostheimer figures combines the fun of play with a high educational added value. Whether they slip into the role of a knight, farmer or adventurer - the high-quality wooden toys offer countless opportunities to invent and realize new stories again and again. The variety of Ostheimer figures and animals allows children to explore different themed worlds.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer crib

Wood from sustainably managed forests combines resource-conserving use with the protection of nature. The figures are traditionally handcrafted according to established patterns, whereby each piece remains unique. The saliva-safe and non-toxic paints are carefully matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design and contain no animal ingredients. The use of transparent colors that emphasize the natural wood grain makes each product unique. The finishing oil provides lasting protection for the colors.

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