Holztiger Waldorf style toys are wholly sustainable - made by hand from durable solid maple and beech, and painted with non-toxic, water-based paints in Europe. Durable hardwood will stand the test of time in the playroom and the beauty of its grain shows through the paint on each painstakingly made figure.
