Making and materials of the Ostheimer raccoon

The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, which ensures the responsible use of natural resources. Transparent colors allow the individual wood grain to shine through and make each product unique. The paints used are saliva-safe, free from animal ingredients and perfectly match the typical Ostheimer design. The organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear.
