Little Red Riding Hood by Ostheimer is a fairy tale figure for endless play and storytelling. This timeless wooden toy is inspired by Waldorf education, which prefers high-quality natural materials and clear toys to allow creativity and imagination to run free.
Little Red Riding Hood wears her red cape and carries her basket, ready to venture through the forest to grandmother's house. Precisely because the figure doesn't have an elaborated face, your child can tell the story differently every time: one time afraid of the wolf, another time brave enough to simply walk past him.
Each figure 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 paints 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 at In den Olifant are fans of this! The passion with which Ostheimer handcrafts open-ended toys has been a beacon of craftsmanship for over eighty years. Combine Little Red Riding Hood with the grandmother, the wolf, the trees, and other Ostheimer play figures to create an imaginative play world for your children.
