Pedagogical benefits for fun creative play

The birds play a particularly important role in Waldorf education, as they support the natural development of the child. Their soft shapes encourage imagination and stimulate creative play. Unlike many modern toys, Ostheimer products offer a calm, harmonious play experience that is particularly suitable for use in kindergartens and families. The natural Ostheimer wooden animals and wooden figures offer children a unique play experience. The handcrafted wooden figures help children to learn through play and develop their creativity. This strengthens both imagination and problem-solving skills.

The promotion of imagination and creative play is a central aspect of child development with Ostheimer figures. With the large selection of Ostheimer figures, endless play environments can be created. Whether it's recreating a farm scene or a forest adventure - children can use these wooden toys to create ever new fantasy worlds and fully develop their creativity.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer wagtail

The wood is sourced from sustainable European forestry, which stands for environmentally friendly and responsible use of resources. Finally, a biological oil protects the paint layer. All colors are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colors highlight the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. Each figurine is made according to a sophisticated design with skilled craftsmanship, so that the natural wood is perfectly accentuated.

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