Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Brown Ox

This brown bull ox from Ostheimer is standing with his head down to graze. His hide is coloured by the natural grain of solid wood and large brown markings are added with water colour stain. Simple markings for eyes and ears add character but this is a really simple toy, allowing children to use their imaginations as they play with it. This Ostheimer ox is perfect for story sacks and will make a great addition to a toy farm and imaginative play scenes. Team up with female oxen, nativity characters and farmyard animals for a growing Ostheimer collection.

This Waldorf figure has been expertly hand crafted from sustainable, solid hard wood and is smooth, warm and tactile in children's hands. Hand-made in Germany, each figure is beautifully unique.

• Suitable for children over 3 years.

• This cow is 10.5cm high.

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.
