Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Ochre Rooster

Every toy farm needs a cockerel to rule the roost and this Ostheimer cockerel will look splendid doing so. This handcrafted wooden figure is left partly natural, allowing the rich grain to colour his body, while his head, neck and tail have been stained light tan with eco colours. Bright red details add to his character but he is decorated simply, allowing children to fill in the blanks with their imaginations. This Ostheimer rooster is perfect for a toy farm and is a variety of story sacks and acting out nursery rhymes. Handmade in Germany, this cockerel is warm and tactile in little hands.

• Suitable for children over 3 years.  
• Made from sustainable hard wood, painted with non-toxic water based paint and finished with organic oil.  
• Height: 6.5cm

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.
