Pedagogical added value with playful creativity

The soft shapes encourage imagination and stimulate creative play. Unlike many modern toys, Ostheimer products offer a calm, harmonious play experience that is particularly suitable for use in nurseries and families. They play a particularly important role in Waldorf education, as they support the natural development of the child. The natural Ostheimer wooden animals and wooden figures offer children a unique play experience. The handmade figures help children to learn through play and develop their creativity. Encouraging imagination and creative play is a key aspect of child development with Ostheimer figures.

This strengthens both imagination and problem-solving skills. Whether it's about nature or magical kingdoms, the lovingly designed wooden toy figures inspire creative role play and new stories. Thanks to the variety of Ostheimer figures, children can create entire themed worlds and unleash their imagination without limits.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Maria

The figures are traditionally handcrafted according to established patterns, whereby each piece remains unique. Wood from sustainably managed forests combines resource-conserving use with the protection of nature. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. Finally, a biological oil protects the paint layer. All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design.

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