Making and materials of the Ostheimer hedgehog

Each figure is handcrafted with great care and according to clear templates, so that the wood shows its natural elegance. The precisely coordinated colors give the Ostheimer design its unmistakable look. Transparent colors make the wood grain visible and give each piece a unique touch. An organic oil provides the final protection for the colors, which are saliva-safe and free of animal ingredients. The wood comes from sustainably managed forestry areas where special attention is paid to preserving the environment.

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