Each Ostheimer wooden figure is made in the traditional way by hand at every stage, sawn, sanded, painted and oiled. With these figures children can create imaginary worlds re-enacting scenes from their own experiences or conjuring fanciful worlds filled with exotic creatures and tales of wonder. All Ostheimer toys are made from local sustainable hardwood, painted with safe transparent paint and finished in organic oil to ensure a connection with nature and respect for the environment. Ostheimer are considered the quintessential maker of Waldorf wooden figures, their range is extensive so there is something for everyone.
