Encouraging imagination and creative play with Ostheimer figures is a key aspect of children's development.

This strengthens both imagination and problem-solving skills. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, children can create imaginative scenarios. Whether animals, people or fairy tale characters - the variety of these wooden toys encourages creative play and allows exciting adventures to be recreated in ever new worlds.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer rabbits

The wood is sourced from sustainable European forestry, which stands for environmentally friendly and responsible use of resources. The saliva-safe paints are free from animal products and harmless to health - perfect for the Ostheimer design. Biological oil protects the colors. The precisely coordinated, transparent colors emphasize the wood structure and give each piece its individual touch. Each figure is finished by hand with great care and according to clear templates, so that the wood shows its natural elegance.

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