Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Chicken House

Give chickens a cosy home with this wooden chicken house by Ostheimer. The door opens downwards so the chickens can easily get in and out. Pale blue with a terracotta coloured roof, it will complement a range of farm and country settings. 23x21x17cm. You could add some hay to make it even more realistic. 

Little ones will love putting the chickens in and out of the chicken house, seeing if they've laid any eggs, and hopping them up and down the open door. You could even add a rooster to the roof. Opening the door is great for refining their pincer grip and other fine motor skills.

This waldorf house will lend itself to all sorts of story-telling opportunities, as children decide for themselves who will be living in the wooden house. It's delightful to hold and play with, due to the gorgeous smooth plywood used. 

The soft colours also lend themselves to that wonderful fairytale setting children are so drawn to. 

• Suitable for children over 3 years.
• Made from sustainable hard wood, painted with non-toxic water based paint and finished with organic oil.  
• Dimensions: 23 x 21 x 17cm
