Educational value for imaginative play

Ostheimer wooden figures and wooden animals are characterized by their soft, child-friendly shapes, which train the sense of touch and contribute to the development of creativity. Compared to other toys, they create a warm, natural atmosphere and offer a haptic experience. They are also valuable in Waldorf education as they support the child's natural development. They encourage free, creative play and invite children to re-enact stories and scenes from everyday life. These wooden figures offer a tactile experience that encourages children to explore their surroundings. Ostheimer figures enable free play that promotes both learning and creativity in children.

Learning through play and creative development go hand in hand and promote important skills. The variety of Ostheimer figures and animals allows children to explore different themed worlds. Whether they slip into the role of a knight, farmer or adventurer - the high-quality wooden toys offer countless opportunities to invent and implement new stories again and again.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer penguin

The precisely coordinated colors give the Ostheimer design its unmistakable look. An organic oil ensures the final protection of the colors, which are saliva-safe and free of animal ingredients. Transparent colors leave the wood grain visible and give each piece a unique touch. Following a carefully developed design, each figure is handcrafted to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation.

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