Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Stork

Wood from European forestry companies that work according to strict guidelines for sustainability helps to protect natural resources. The design of each figure follows a carefully created pattern and is precisely handcrafted to emphasize the uniqueness of the wood. All 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. The transparent, precisely coordinated colors allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unique.

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