Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Flamingo

The wood is sourced from sustainably managed forest areas, where special emphasis is placed on the careful use of natural resources. The handcrafted production is based on a sophisticated pattern, with each figure being handcrafted from the best wood. The wood is then treated with organic oil to protect the colors. 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.

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