They create an ideal environment for inventing stories and immersing themselves in role play.

This not only promotes creative thinking, but also social interaction. Ostheimer figures are not only robust and durable, but also enable children to create exciting adventures and imaginative play worlds with these wooden toys thanks to their variety of shapes and themes. The figures fit together perfectly and encourage children to invent their own stories.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer chicken

The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation. Each figurine is lovingly handcrafted according to a defined pattern, with the focus on the natural texture of the wood. The color coordination is precisely tailored to the Ostheimer design. By using transparent glazes, the wood structure remains visible and gives each piece a unique character. The final oil protects the colors, which are saliva-proof, harmless to health and free from animal ingredients.

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