Educational aspect and creative play fun

These figures have a firm place in the Waldorf approach in particular, which focuses on free play. The handmade Ostheimer wooden figures stimulate children's creativity and create a warm, natural atmosphere. Unlike technical toys, which often restrict creativity, the figures offer countless opportunities to invent new stories. Thanks to their soft edges and natural materials, they offer a tactile experience that stimulates the sense of touch and invites playful learning. They create an ideal environment for inventing stories and immersing children in role play. Ostheimer figures encourage children to discover and develop their creative side through imaginative play.

This not only promotes creative thinking, but also social interaction. Children can create varied scenarios with the numerous figures in this wooden toy and immerse themselves again and again in imaginative play worlds. The soft feel and restrained color scheme of the Ostheimer figures not only encourage imagination, but also creativity.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Shetland Pony

In the forestry used, the focus is on long-term sustainability and the protection of the natural environment. Each figure is finished by hand with great care and according to clear templates, so that the wood shows its natural elegance. The precisely coordinated colors give the Ostheimer design its unmistakable look. Transparent colors make the wood grain visible and give each piece a unique touch. An organic oil ensures the final protection of the colors, which are saliva-safe and free of animal ingredients.

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