Through imaginative play with the handmade wooden figures, children discover new ways of expressing themselves. Creative role play with Ostheimer figures promotes learning and stimulates children's imagination.

This supports their cognitive development and helps them to acquire important social skills. Children can create varied scenarios with the numerous figures in this wooden toy and immerse themselves again and again in imaginative play worlds. The soft feel and restrained color scheme of the Ostheimer figures not only encourage imagination, but also creativity.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer mother

Each figure is made with precision craftsmanship according to a defined pattern, which gives the wood its unique appearance. The colors are saliva-proof, not of animal origin and precisely matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design. Biological oil protects the colors. The transparent colors preserve the structure of the wood, making each piece unique. The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature.

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