Ostheimer figures encourage children to discover and develop their creative side through imaginative play.

They create an ideal environment for inventing stories and immersing themselves in role play. 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. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, children can create imaginative scenarios.

Making and materials of the Ostheimer seal

The design of each figure follows a carefully created pattern and is precisely handcrafted to emphasize the uniqueness of the wood. The organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear. 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 wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature.

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