Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Sitting Shepherd

This colourful Ostheimer shepherd is sitting down and has a cheery expression with rosy cheeks, a smile and a bushy black beard. He is wearing a blue and red outfit and made from solid wood, and the grain shows through the colour stain used for his clothing. This Ostheimer shepherd is a great wooden figure for a toy farm but will also be suitable for a nativity scene at Christmas time. Team up this Waldorf shepherd with a flock of sheep, farmyard animals and nativity characters for a growing Ostheimer collection.

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.
