Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer drop gate

The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature. Each figure is handcrafted with precision according to a defined pattern, which gives the wood its unique appearance. The saliva-safe and non-hazardous paints contain no animal ingredients and are precisely matched to the Ostheimer design. The transparent colors, which were specially developed for toys, emphasize the wood grain and make each piece unique. The organic oil protects the colors.

Warning: Not suitable for children under 3 years of age, as small parts may become detached or broken off and swallowed.
