Ostheimer Wooden Figures
Magic Forest Shop has proudly stocked Ostheimer wooden figures for many years and offers one of the UK's most carefully curated collections.
Handcrafted in Germany using sustainably sourced maple and ash wood, every Ostheimer figure is individually carved, hand sanded and hand painted using traditional methods. No two pieces are exactly alike, giving each animal, character and figure its own unique personality and charm.
Rooted in Waldorf education, Ostheimer figures are designed to inspire open ended play, storytelling and imagination. Whether creating a farmyard scene, woodland adventure, seasonal display or small world habitat, these timeless wooden figures invite children to create their own stories and return to them again and again.
Loved by families, educators and collectors alike, Ostheimer pieces are often treasured for generations and passed from one childhood to the next.
