Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Shetland Pony

The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, which ensures the responsible use of natural resources. Each figure is lovingly handcrafted according to a set pattern, with the focus on the natural texture of the wood. Organic oil protects the colors. The saliva-safe paints are free from animal products and harmless to health - perfect for the Ostheimer design. The precisely coordinated, transparent colors emphasize the wood structure and give each piece its individual touch.

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