Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Penguin From The Front

What a nosy character this Ostheimer penguin is, looking straight up into the sky. Beautiful black brush strokes coupled with the natural wood grain create the look of its waterproof feathers, with a yellow crest and white tummy.

Little ones will love waddling this penguin around on the ice, then watch as it dives expertly into the water, catching some fish for dinner. As well as completing a Christmas or winter scene, children will love to learn that some penguins live in warm climates!

This Waldorf penguin has just the right amount of detail to identify it as a penguin, such as the handcarved flippers and beak, and the eye detail and gorgeous brush strokes applied to its tummy. It remains open-ended to invite children to incorporate it into a variety of play scenes and story sacks

Expertly hand crafted from sustainable, solid hard wood, this Ostheimer penguin is smooth, warm and tactile in children's hands. Hand-made in Germany, each figure is beautifully unique.

• Suitable for children over 3 years.

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.
