Pedagogical aspect and playful creativity

These figures are particularly popular in the Waldorf approach, which focuses on free play. The handmade Ostheimer wooden figures stimulate children's imagination and create a warm, natural atmosphere. Unlike technical toys, which often restrict creativity, the figures offer countless opportunities to invent new stories. Thanks to their soft edges and natural materials, they offer a tactile experience that stimulates the sense of touch and invites playful learning. This promotes both their emotional development and their social skills. Ostheimer figures support children's development by stimulating creative play and being fun at the same time.

The natural material and simple shapes allow children to express themselves freely and use their imagination. The figures fit together perfectly and encourage children to invent their own stories. Ostheimer figures are not only robust and durable, but also allow children to create exciting adventures and imaginative play worlds with this wooden toy thanks to their variety of shapes and themes.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Wickelkind

A biological oil provides a final layer of protection for the paint. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design. The wood is sourced from responsibly managed forestry areas where ecological responsibility is paramount. Each figurine is made according to a sophisticated design with skilled craftsmanship so that the natural wood is shown to its best advantage.

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