Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Mary On Donkey

Celebrate the Christmas tale with this wonderful two-part set of a heavily pregnant Mary, riding on a donkey to Bethlehem. Mary perches on the donkey and can be removed so that the donkey can be played with independently on a toy farm for the rest of the year.

Mary is wearing a red gown and long blue shawl. She has blonde hair and a peaceful expression. The Ostheimer donkey is lightly stained grey with a darker mane and a blanket across his back. These Waldorf-style nativity figures are perfect for story sacks and will make a great addition to a Christmas display. Team up with other nativity animals for a religious display.

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

• Suitable for children over 3 years.
• Made from sustainable hard wood, painted with non-toxic water based colour stain and organic oils. 
• Mary is 16cm high. The donkey is 10cm 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.
