OSTHEIMER SQUIRREL

The Ostheimer Squirrel features a warm orange colouring and a delicate white-tipped bushy tail, capturing the lively spirit and curiosity of this beloved woodland creature.

Perfect for forest scenes, nature tables, and imaginative storytelling, this small figure invites children to create seasonal worlds inspired by the rhythms of nature.

For more than 70 years, Ostheimer has been handcrafting exceptional wooden toys in Germany, guided by the Waldorf educational principles of Rudolf Steiner. Each figure is individually carved and hand-painted using soft forms and harmonious colours that nurture creativity and open-ended play.

Thoughtfully shaped to fit comfortably in a child’s hand, every piece carries its own unique character — a reflection of the handcrafted process and the natural beauty of sustainably sourced European timber. These heirloom toys are made to be treasured across generations.

Finished with non-toxic, water-based colours and organic oils, Ostheimer toys honour both the child and the natural world.
