Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Canada Goose Standing

This Canadian goose is standing upright - looking for its mate splashing about on the pond or pondering if it's time to migrate. With a black head and neck, brown body, white and grey tail, this Ostheimer Canada goose is a realistic wooden figure that comes to life in the hand of a child. Made from solid wood, the grain shows through the water-based paint, bringing children closer to nature.

Handmade in Germany from solid, sustainable hardwood and stained with eco, water-based colour, this goose is smooth, warm and tactile - perfect for children's hands and popular with ornithologists too. These wooden Waldorf figures help children create their own connection between themselves and the natural world. Grown ups will also love to play with them, appreciating the skill need to hand craft them. 

• Suitable for children over 3 years.  
• Made from sustainable hard wood, painted with non-toxic water based paint and finished with organic oil.  
• Height: 7cm
