Educational benefits with imaginative play

In contrast to technical toys, which often limit creativity, the figures offer countless opportunities to invent new stories. Thanks to their soft edges and natural materials, they offer a tactile experience that stimulates the sense of touch and invites playful learning. These figures have a firm place in the Waldorf approach in particular, which focuses on free play. The handmade Ostheimer wooden figures stimulate children's creativity and create a warm, natural atmosphere. Playful learning with Ostheimer figures combines the fun of playing with a high educational added value. Children are encouraged to let their imagination run wild with the simple, soft shapes.

At the same time, they develop basic social skills while creating their own stories and adventures. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, children can create imaginative scenarios. Whether animals, people or fairy tale characters - the variety of these wooden toys encourages creative play and allows exciting adventures to be recreated in ever new worlds.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Elster

The wood is sourced from responsibly managed forestry areas where ecological responsibility is paramount. Organic oil protects the colors. The colors are saliva-proof, not of animal origin and precisely matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design. The transparent colors preserve the wood structure, making each piece unique. Based on a carefully developed design, each figure is handcrafted and allows the natural beauty of the wood to shine through.

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