Educational value in creative toys

Their soft shapes stimulate the sense of touch and offer a calming, nature-loving atmosphere, which is also appreciated in Waldorf education. Ostheimer wooden animals and wooden figures are perfect for encouraging children's free play and imagination. These toys not only promote playtime fun, but also creative learning. These handcrafted wooden figures not only encourage free play, but also stimulate thinking and imagination, which is crucial for children's development.

Ostheimer figures offer children the opportunity to develop their imagination through creative play and experience lots of fun at the same time. Children can create varied scenarios with the numerous figures in this wooden toy and immerse themselves again and again in imaginative play worlds. The soft feel and restrained color scheme of the Ostheimer figures not only encourage imagination, but also creativity.

Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Whale

Wood from European forestry companies that work according to strict guidelines for sustainability contributes to the protection of natural resources. The transparent, precisely coordinated colors allow the wood grain to shine through and make each piece unique. All paints used are saliva-safe, harmless to health and free from animal products - ideal for the characteristic Ostheimer design. Biological oil protects the colors permanently. Each figurine is finished by hand with great care and according to clear templates so that the wood shows its natural elegance.

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