Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer stick

Transparent colors allow the unique wood grain to shine through and give each piece its individual character. Each shade of color is precisely matched to preserve the unmistakable Ostheimer design. The paints are saliva-safe, harmless to health and naturally free from animal ingredients. Finally, organic oil is used to protect the colors. Each figure is handcrafted according to a carefully developed pattern and made from high-quality wood with great attention to detail. The wood comes from forestry areas that are managed according to strict sustainability standards in order to safeguard natural resources 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.
