Wooden play figure - Standing shepherd

Standing Shepherd is a wooden play figure from Ostheimer. Complete your collection of Ostheimer figures with other dolls and animals; the shepherd fits perfectly with the sheep, wooden fences, or the Christmas collection with Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. This timeless wooden toy is inspired by Waldorf education, which prefers high-quality natural materials and clear toys to unleash creativity and imagination.

The shepherd stands upright in his long cloak and, at 10.5 cm, is one of the larger figures, naturally taking the lead over the flock. At Ostheimer, the shepherd is more than just a doll: together with his dog, he became the brand's logo. In addition to the seated and kneeling shepherd, you get a small company that each plays its own role in the meadow or around the nativity scene.

Each figure is handmade in Germany, using wood from sustainable domestic forestry. Every doll from the Ostheimer collection is a unique piece made with great love and care. The water-based paints are slightly transparent to highlight the wood grain; the play figures are not finished with varnish to keep the beauty of the wood visible. The unpainted figures are oiled with vegetable oil from organic farming.

At Ostheimer, they make toys that stimulate children's imagination and nurture their creativity. Of course, we are fans of that at In den Olifant! The passion with which Ostheimer hand-crafts open-ended toys has been a beacon of craftsmanship for over eighty years. Combine the standing shepherd with the sheep, the sheepdog, and other Ostheimer play figures to create an imaginative play world for your children.
