Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer elephant

The wood is sourced from sustainably managed forest areas, where special emphasis is placed on the careful use of natural resources. Handcrafted according to a defined pattern, the precise manual work brings out the uniqueness and naturalness of the wood. Each shade of color is precisely matched to preserve the unmistakable Ostheimer design. Finally, organic oil is used to protect the colors. The paints are saliva-safe, harmless to health and of course free from animal ingredients. Transparent colors allow the unique wood grain to shine through and give each piece its individual character.

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