Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Small Polar Bear With Long Neck

This adorable Ostheimer polar bear cub is usually found with its mother, learning to swim in the icy water in the Arctic Circle, or hanging out on a floating ice berg. The wooden grain is the perfect imitation of the polar bear's soft fur. 

Details are stripped right back, with just a few brush strokes needed for its eyes and nose - the artistic skill needed when hand carving this Waldorf polar bear cub takes care of the beautiful details such as the adorable ears and sizeable paws. Add another polar bear cub and an adult polar bear to create a whole family - they'll love going for a family swim.

The open-ended nature of this wooden polar bear helps connect children with elements of the world they wouldn't ordinarily encounter, inviting them to ask questions about different species, and soon discover the new risks these beautiful creatures face in a changing world.

Add this polar bear figure to other arctic animals, such as seals, fish and the Arctic Ocean.
