Moooo!
This adorable calf from Ostheimer is the perfect addition to a farm yard small world scene. Hand carved and painted, this calf is beautifully represented with black patches and cord tail. Looking up and calling to see its mummy, children will love to play with him and immerse themselves in the world of farming.
Every Ostheimer figure is sanded, painted with non-toxic stain, and varnished by hand, a process which ensures that each one is absolutely unique.
Margarete Ostheimer, a Waldorf (Steiner) teacher, began a collection of toys which enliven the imagination. In her own words: “It is the fantasy of our children alone that breathes life into the seemingly stiff wooden figures, the form and colour of which purposely have been reduced to an essential minimum. It is apparent how little coaching our children need to dive into their worlds.”
Slight differences in colour and slight deviations in the structure of the grain contribute to the special charm and uniqueness of Ostheimer figures.
