Curious, gentle and full of storybook charm, the Ostheimer Gretel / Goldilocks figure is a beautiful wooden character for fairy tale storytelling and imaginative small world play.
Officially known by Ostheimer as Gretel, this lovely figure works equally beautifully as Goldilocks, making her a wonderfully versatile character for recreating favourite childhood stories or inventing entirely new adventures.
She can wander through the forest with Hansel, discover a mysterious cottage, visit the Three Bears or simply become part of a family, village or woodland scene.
Like all Ostheimer figures, her simple expressive form leaves plenty of space for children to decide her personality and story for themselves.
Each figure is handcrafted from maple wood, carefully shaped, sanded and coloured by hand. The natural grain remains visible beneath the soft colouring, giving every Gretel its own subtle character.
A timeless wooden fairy tale figure for storytelling, imaginative play and a growing Fairytale Ostheimer collection.
