Wooden animal - Whale

The whale from Ostheimer is a beautiful wooden animal to play with on its own or together with other Ostheimer figures. This wooden toy immerses every child in a world of imagination. Complete your collection of Ostheimer figures with other dolls and animals. This timeless wooden toy is inspired by Waldorf education, which prefers high-quality natural materials and clear toys to unleash creativity and imagination.

The whale is cut from a single piece of wood, with a curved back and a tail that seems to be just emerging from the water. Without legs or sharp details, it rolls easily through your child's hands, and that is precisely the intention: a blue cloth becomes the sea, and the dolphins and seal swim along. Also nice to simply place on the windowsill.

Each figurine is handmade in Germany, using wood from sustainable domestic forestry. Each doll from the Ostheimer collection is a unique piece made with much love and care. The water-based colours are slightly transparent to emphasize 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 handcrafts open-ended toys has been a beacon of craftsmanship for over eighty years. Combine the whale with the dolphins, seals, and other Ostheimer play figures to create an imaginative play world for your children.
