Pedagogical benefits for creative play

In comparison to plastic toys, Ostheimer figures offer a durable, natural alternative that is ideal for use in nurseries and families.

They promote haptic learning through their soft, natural shapes that stimulate the sense of touch. These wooden figures are specially designed to encourage targeted play that expands a child's imagination. With Ostheimer figures, children experience a world full of creativity and imagination.

Children playfully learn to understand their surroundings while immersing themselves in imaginative role play. Ostheimer figures are not only robust and durable, but also allow 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.

Making and materials of the Ostheimer chicken

After a carefully developed design, each figure is created by hand and allows the natural beauty of the wood to come to the fore. Wood from responsibly managed forests guarantees resource-conserving use and long-term sustainability. The colors are saliva-proof, not of animal origin and precisely matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design. Biological oil protects the colors. The transparent colors preserve the wood structure, making each piece unique.

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