Ostheimer Ark (special order)

We are a community of people who make wooden figures for children with diligence and a lot of heart. At Ostheimer, we have made toys in the same way for over 60 years - step by step in pure handcraft. We are guided by the vision of our company founders to produce simple yet beautifully designed wooden toys for children that convey an endearing, dignified image of people, animals and plants.

In accordance with our mission statement, we strive to manage our company with wider awareness and a holistic understanding of responsibility. This concerns the design of our toys, the quality of our products, the appreciative and careful handling of our materials and the social ethos within our company as well as towards our business partners.

Our business philosophy is based on three pillars of sustainable action: the production of high-quality, durable wooden toys suitable for children, responsible economic activities, and social commitment in society.

Paying attention to high-quality, environmentally friendly materials has always been part of Ostheimer's business philosophy.

All our materials are consciously chosen. For example, our wood comes from sustainable local timber production. The material is treated with selected paints and organic oils, which preserve the natural properties of the wood and allow children to experience these properties.

For many people, trees are a symbol of life. They give us gifts in many ways. The sight of them has an uplifting and invigorating effect. They provide us with natural shade, breathable air and nourishing fruit. Wood also shapes our everyday lives as a material for houses and furniture. And in winter, it provides us with natural warmth.

Another great gift of trees is that people can create wooden toys from them. When treated carefully, it retains its natural vibrancy and strength to the benefit of children, who can experience the beauty of nature with all their senses through wooden toys.
