The soft feel and restrained color scheme of the Ostheimer figures not only encourage imagination, but also creativity.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Penguin

The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation. Biological oil protects the colors. The saliva-safe paints are free from animal products and harmless to health - perfect for the Ostheimer design. The precisely coordinated, transparent colors emphasize the wood structure and give each piece its own individual touch. 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.
