Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer ox

The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, where the conservation of natural resources is a top priority. Each figure is handcrafted with great dedication and according to clear templates, which gives the high-quality wood its special feel. It is then treated with organic oil to protect the colors. The saliva-safe paints are harmless to health, free from animal ingredients and precisely matched to the classic Ostheimer design. The natural water-based wood stains leave the wood grain visible and give each piece its uniqueness.

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