Educational benefits for imaginative play

Ostheimer wooden animals and wooden figures are perfect for encouraging children's free play and creativity. These toys not only promote playtime fun, but also creative learning.

Their soft shapes stimulate the sense of touch and offer a calming, nature-loving atmosphere, which is also appreciated in Waldorf education. These wooden figures are specially designed to encourage targeted play that expands children's imagination. Children playfully learn to understand their surroundings while immersing themselves in imaginative role play.

With Ostheimer figures, children experience a world full of creativity and fantasy. Whether they slip into the role of a knight, farmer or adventurer - the high-quality wooden toys offer countless opportunities to invent and realize new stories again and again. The variety of Ostheimer figures and animals allows children to explore different themed worlds.

Making and materials of the Ostheimer tiger

Handcrafted according to a set pattern, the precise handwork brings out the uniqueness and naturalness of the wood. Transparent glazes allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unmistakably unique. Finally, organic oil protects the colors from wear and tear. They are perfectly matched to the Ostheimer design. All paints used are saliva-safe, harmless to health and contain no animal ingredients. Wood from sustainably managed forests combines resource-conserving use with the protection of nature.

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