Educational value with fun creative play

Unlike technical toys, which often encourage passive play, Ostheimer wooden toys encourage children to actively invent stories. These toys not only promote playtime fun, but also creative learning. Their soft shapes stimulate the sense of touch and offer a calming, nature-loving atmosphere, which is also appreciated in Waldorf education. Ostheimer wooden animals and wooden figures are perfect for encouraging children's free play and creativity. By playing freely with the wooden figures, children develop their imagination and learn to express themselves in different scenarios. Imaginative play with Ostheimer figures offers children educational benefits and creative development opportunities at the same time.

This type of play is particularly valuable for their development. 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.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Josef

Wood from certified forestry operations is sourced according to strict ecological standards to ensure sustainable use. Each figurine is handcrafted according to a fixed pattern with great care to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. The saliva-proof and non-toxic paints are carefully matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design and contain no animal ingredients. The finishing oil provides lasting protection for the colors. The use of transparent colors that emphasize the natural wood grain makes each product unique.

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