Ostheimer Koala brings a piece of Australia to the playmat. This timeless wooden toy is inspired by Waldorf education, which prefers high-quality natural materials and uncluttered toys to unleash creativity and imagination.
The koala has the soft, rounded shapes so characteristic of Ostheimer, with rounded edges that fit comfortably in small hands. Place him by the eucalyptus tree and the kangaroo, and the Australian corner of the play world is complete.
Each figure is handmade in Germany from maple wood from sustainable domestic forestry. Every piece from the Ostheimer collection is unique and made with great love and care. The water-based paints are slightly transparent to highlight the wood grain; the figures are not finished with varnish to keep the beauty of the wood visible. They 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're fans of that at In den Olifant! Ostheimer's passion for handcrafting open-ended toys has been a beacon of craftsmanship for over eighty years. Combine the koala with other Ostheimer animals to create an imaginative play world for your little ones.
