Whether they slip into the role of a knight, farmer or adventurer - the high-quality wooden toys offer countless opportunities to invent and implement new stories again and again.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer turtle

Finally, organic oil is used to protect the colors. The colors are saliva-safe, harmless to health and of course free of animal ingredients. 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 wood is sourced from sustainably managed forest areas, where particular emphasis is placed on the careful use of natural resources. Each figurine is handcrafted according to a carefully developed pattern and made from high-quality wood with attention to detail.

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