Making and materials of the Ostheimer pelican

The hand-applied colors are saliva-safe and free of animal ingredients, making them both harmless and perfectly suited to the Ostheimer design. The final oil provides lasting protection for the colors. The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, where the conservation of natural resources is a top priority. Handcrafted according to a precise pattern, each figure impresses with its individual craftsmanship that brings the natural wood to life.

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