Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Penguin

Each figure is made with precision craftsmanship according to a defined pattern, which gives the wood its unique appearance. The wood is sourced from responsibly managed forestry areas where ecological responsibility is paramount. The precisely coordinated colors give the Ostheimer design its unmistakable look. Transparent colors leave the wood grain visible and give each piece a unique touch. An organic oil ensures the final protection of the colors, which are saliva-safe and free of animal ingredients.

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