Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer bull

Based on an artfully designed pattern, each figure is traditionally handcrafted to preserve the natural structure of the wood. The organic oil protects the colors. The transparent colors, which were specially developed for toys, emphasize the wood grain and make each piece unique. The saliva-safe and non-hazardous paints contain no animal ingredients and are precisely matched to the Ostheimer design. Wood from responsibly managed forestry operations guarantees resource-conserving use and long-term sustainability.
