Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Lioness

This Ostheimer female lion is a striking wooden lioness with a simple form that allows children's imaginations to fill in the gaps. With a strong back, long cord tail and piercing green eyes, this lioness is ready for adventure - be it raising her cub or hunting down dinner for the pride. Lions roam across sub-Saharan Africa but this one likes to be at home in a playroom with a collection of Ostheimer safari animals. Team her up with a male lion, tiger, rhino, hippo and other exotic friends - children will love to make her roar. This Waldorf lady lion has been handmade in Germany from solid, sustainable hardwood. Tan water colour stain has been used to paint her short-haired coat and allows the rich grain of the wood to shine through. Smooth, warm and tactile, this lioness is perfect for little hands and stimulating developing imaginations. Add to a story sack or enjoy making up your own imaginative tales. This Waldorf lioness will appeal to children and parents alike.

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.
