Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer polar bear

Handcrafted according to a set pattern, the precise manual work brings out the uniqueness and naturalness of the wood. The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between the use of resources and conservation. The saliva-safe paints are harmless to health, free from animal ingredients and precisely matched to the classic Ostheimer design. To protect the colors, it is then treated with organic oil. The natural water-based wood stains leave the wood grain visible and give each piece its uniqueness.

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