Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer crocodile

Each figure is handcrafted with great dedication and according to clear templates, which gives the high-quality wood its special feel. The wood comes from forestry areas that are managed according to strict sustainability standards in order to safeguard natural resources in the long term. All paints used are saliva-safe, harmless to health and contain no animal ingredients. 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.

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