Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer dwarfs

Handcrafted according to a fixed pattern, the precise manual work brings out the uniqueness and naturalness of the wood. The saliva-safe paints are harmless to health, free from animal ingredients and precisely matched to the classic Ostheimer design. The natural water-based wood stains leave the wood grain visible and give each piece its uniqueness. To protect the colors, it is then treated with organic oil. The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, which ensures responsible use of natural resources.

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