Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Brown Hen on Nest

Settling down on her egg until it's ready to hatch, this wooden brown hen looks very cosy. Don't forget to keep her well fed and dry in her chicken house. Create a whole chicken family with the Ostheimer rooster and chicks. 3.5cm high.

Your child will love seeing if the egg is ready yet, and acting out the moment when the chick is born. The beautiful details such as where the feathers on the head and neck are a different shade to the wings, as well as the red crown help sustain a sense of realism to this Waldorf hen. These have been handpainted in Germany, by the highly skilled Ostheimer artists.

Create a farmyard scene, or add to your story sacks and nursery rhyme bags.

Ostheimer have been making Waldorf wooden figures for generations with a desire to craft toys that inspire children to play freely and explore the world with all their senses.  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.
