Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer elephant

The coordinated colors highlight the natural structure of the wood, making each product unique. Biological oil protects the colors. The colors are saliva-safe, free of animal substances and optimally matched to the typical Ostheimer design to ensure maximum safety. Based on a detailed pattern, each figure is created by hand so that the wood can unfold its full splendor. The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation.

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