The backgrounds are made by Ostheimer for store displays. They are also lovely for creating scenes and for a playscape!
This particular background is reversible, with day on one side, and night on the other; please note that it also is 'multi-layer' with plywood trees. The trees however are very thin, and if pulled on, the plywood will snap. For children who might be curious to interact more with the display, the non-reversible background would be more recommended.
40 x 80 x 35 cm.

Wood contains tannins that have a natural antibacterial effect.
However, if cleaning is necessary, for example if it is heavily soiled, then Ostheimer recommends:
Use lukewarm water, possibly with a little diluted vinegar or a splash of ecological washing-up liquid (liquid dish detergent).
Gently rub the surfaces with a soft, clean cloth or sponge.
Lightly sand natural wood figures (not painted figures) in heavily soiled areas with 120 grit sandpaper.
After cleaning, rub the toy with a soft cotton cloth and let it air dry.
Nest Notes: Ostheimer items are known for being very smoothly sanded; however, should you ever encounter a rough spot or edge, you can use the 'brown paper bag trick', where you rub a brown paper bag just a little bit vigorously, and it acts as a very, very fine sandpaper that generally does not affect the colour.
