Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer St. Nicholas

All paints used are saliva-safe, harmless to health and contain no animal ingredients. Transparent glazes allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unmistakably unique. They are perfectly matched to the Ostheimer design. Finally, organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear. The handcrafted production is based on a sophisticated pattern, with each figure being handmade from the best wood. Wood from responsibly managed forestry operations ensures that natural resources are conserved and preserved in the long term.

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