Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer tiger

Handcrafted according to a set pattern, the precise manual work brings out the uniqueness and naturalness of the wood. Finally, organic oil is used to protect the colors. 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 colors are saliva-safe, harmless to health and of course free from animal ingredients. The wood is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forestry operations in Europe to support environmental protection and preserve nature.

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