Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer pelican

A final biological oil ensures that the colors are protected. Specially coordinated, transparent colors allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unique. The colors are saliva-proof, free of animal ingredients and completely harmless to health. The wood is sourced from sustainably managed forest areas, where particular emphasis is placed on the careful use of natural resources. The handcrafted production is based on a sophisticated pattern, whereby each figure is handcrafted from the best wood.

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