Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer lion

The colours are saliva-safe, harmless to health and of course free from animal ingredients. Finally, organic oil is used to protect the colours. Each colour shade is precisely matched to preserve the unmistakable Ostheimer design. Transparent colours allow the unique wood grain to shine through and give each piece its individual character. Each figurine is handcrafted with great dedication and according to clear templates, which gives the high-quality wood its special feel. Wood from certified forestry operations is sourced according to strict ecological standards to ensure sustainable use.

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