These wooden figures are specially designed to encourage targeted play that expands children's imaginations. The variety of Ostheimer figures and animals allows children to explore different themed worlds. Whether they slip into the role of a knight, farmer or adventurer - the high-quality wooden toys offer countless opportunities to invent and realize new stories again and again.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer dinghy

Handcrafted according to a precise pattern, each figure impresses with its individual craftsmanship that brings the natural wood to life. Organic oil protects the colors. The transparent colors applied by hand allow the wood structure to come to the fore, giving each piece its individual character. The saliva-safe and non-hazardous paints are free from animal products and precisely matched to support Ostheimer's unique design. Wood from sustainably managed forests combines resource-conserving use with the protection of nature.

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