Added educational value with creative toys

They are also valuable in Waldorf education as they support the child's natural development. Compared to other toys, they create a warm, natural atmosphere and offer a haptic experience. Ostheimer wooden figures and wooden animals are characterized by their soft, child-friendly shapes, which train the sense of touch and contribute to the development of the imagination. They encourage free, creative play and invite children to re-enact stories and scenes from everyday life. This strengthens both imagination and problem-solving skills. The handcrafted wooden figures help children to learn through play and develop their creativity.

The promotion of imagination and creative play with Ostheimer figures is a key aspect of children's development. 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 night watchman

The wood comes from sustainably managed forestry areas where special attention is paid to the preservation of the environment. Transparent colors allow the individual wood grain to shine through and make each product unique. The organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear. The paints used are saliva-safe, free from animal ingredients and perfectly match the typical Ostheimer design. 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.
