Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer sea otter

The wood is sourced from sustainable European forestry, which stands for environmentally friendly and responsible use of resources. The transparent, precisely coordinated colors allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unique. All the paints used are saliva-safe, harmless to health and free from animal products - ideal for the characteristic Ostheimer design. Biological oil protects the colors permanently. Each figurine 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.
