Children playfully learn to understand their surroundings while immersing themselves in imaginative role play.

With Ostheimer figures, children experience a world full of creativity and fantasy. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, children can create imaginative scenarios. Whether animals, people or fairy tale characters - the variety of these wooden toys encourages creative play and allows exciting adventures to be recreated in ever new worlds.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer elephant

Wood from certified, sustainable European forestry stands for an environmentally conscious and future-proof approach. Specially coordinated, transparent colors allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unique. A final biological oil protects the colors. The paints are saliva-proof, free from animal ingredients and completely harmless to health. The production of each figure follows a proven pattern and is lovingly finished by hand, allowing the wood to shine in its most beautiful form.

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

Every figure embodies a respect for nature, a love of traditional craftsmanship, and the belief that simple, natural toys open up space for free, creative play. Ostheimer combines proven values with a mindful view of tomorrow's world – sustainable, timelessly beautiful, and full of childlike poetry.

Tradition and responsibility since 1939 The roots of Ostheimer go back to 1939. What was once founded by Margarete Ostheimer in the spirit of Waldorf education is still being continued today with care and dedication. Over many decades, Ostheimer has become synonymous with sustainable, high-quality wooden toys. Each figure not only tells stories in children's play, but also the story of a family business that manufactures with heart, hand, and responsibility for future generations.
