Ostheimer cannon

Ostheimer figures are made entirely by hand in Germany. The high quality of environmentally-friendly Ostheimer wooden toys is based on the use of certified materials. The warm, natural material of wood comes from sustainable domestic forestry and certified organic wood, and the selected childsafe colors and organic oils preserve the natural characteristics of the wood and make it tangible for the child. Many senses are thus involved: the grains of the surface of the wood, the smell of high-quality oils, the beautiful sight for the eye. Artistic and practical designing and painting have a focus so that the characteristic peculiarities of an animal's very typical appearance, in short its spirit, are expressed in it. This is so achieved, not in merely the naturalistic depiction that each outer detail creates, but rather the shapes and painting are deliberately limited to essentials; something special from the character and gesture of an animal or a human figure. The child is not getting something finished in the hand, not a detailed snapshot of a trotting horse with defined eyelashes and facial expression - rather, an Ostheimer wooden figure leaves the child completely immersed in the exciting world of "horse" and gives their imagination much space for play, again and again new scenes and situations to make: as the horse is galloping, standing, neighing, nestling their head against me or it lies down to rest. The design of Ostheimer figures can behave in typical fashion in their movement, as they can look at any moment quite different. All that is in the restrained design of the wooden figure in it, and the child can bring it out, imaginative play coming to life.

Regular price $150.00 Sale price $135.00 Save 10%In Ostheimer's words: "We consciously decided to give our wooden vehicles simple fundamental forms and functions. This way children will use their imagination and their own initiative to bring the play scenes alive. A first idea of basic steering skills can be playfully experienced."
This is it. One of those few special childhood toys, usually guaranteed to get some good play. What we appreciate about it in particular:
Made of solid basswood. All materials used are certified. They guarantee not only toys of the highest quality but also safety for your child at play.
Please note that the horsebox can be joined directly to the Ostheimer tractor, or it can be pulled by a pair of Ostheimer horses, in which case the Ostheimer horse harness is also required (sold separately).

Ostheimer ship's cannon
OH 5540705
Regular price $36.00Accessories for the Ostheimer ship are carefully made from beautiful alder wood and finished with certified natural oils. This particular cannon is well-suited to sit on the deck of the Ostheimer ship with sail mast attachment. It does not come with cannon balls, unlike the other spring-loaded cannon from Ostheimer or the large Kinderkram cannon for comparison, however, it does fit nicely on the deck of the ship. (The spring-loaded cannon would take up quite a bit of 'deck space', and the Kinderkram large cannon would really be much too large for the ship's deck.)
Please note that we do not regularly stock this item, and it could be a few days or a few weeks depending until it can arrive upon special request.
19 cm long.
Made in Europe.
