They play a particularly important role in Waldorf education, as they support the child's natural development. Ostheimer figures offer children the opportunity to develop their imagination through creative play while having lots of fun at the same time.

These handcrafted wooden figures not only encourage free play, but also stimulate thinking and imagination, which is crucial for children's development. The figures fit together perfectly and encourage children to invent their own stories. Ostheimer figures are not only robust and durable, but also enable children to create exciting adventures and imaginative play worlds with this wooden toy thanks to their variety of shapes and themes.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer seal

The use of transparent glazes means that the wood structure remains visible and gives each piece a unique character. The color coordination is precisely tailored to the Ostheimer design. The final oil protects the colors, which are saliva-proof, harmless to health and free from animal ingredients. The wood is sourced from sustainable European forestry, which stands for environmentally friendly and responsible use of resources. 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.
