Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Ostheimer Small Running Lion

This Ostheimer lion cub is full of fun - darting over to play with his siblings, follow his mother and and test out his roar with his dad. This lion cub figure is really cute with a simple form, stretched limbs and a cord tail for flicking away pesky flies. We love his beautiful green eyes and round ears. This lion cub will make a perfect addition to a growing Ostheimer collection of exotic animals - make sure to team him up with adult lions for parents. This Waldorf lion cub has been handmade in Germany from solid, sustainable hardwood. Tan water colour stain has been used to paint the cub's short-haired coat and allows the rich grain of the wood to shine through. Smooth, warm and tactile, this Ostheimer cub is perfect for little hands and stimulating developing imaginations. Add to a story sack or enjoy making up your own imaginative tales. This young Waldorf lion will appeal to children and parents alike.
