With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, endless play environments can be created.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer sheepdog

The wood comes from sustainably managed forestry areas where special attention is paid to preserving the environment. All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. Finally, a biological oil protects the paint layer. Each figure is created according to a clearly defined design and is finely handcrafted to showcase the wood in its pure form.

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