Fans of the Tomten book version by Astrid Lindgren will enjoy this little figure along with Ostheimer's Bodo perhaps to portray the Tomten.
A dear little fox for forest play in any case.
We find the scale of the smaller Ostheimer foxes sufficient to be a 'main fox figure' in a collection of animals; however, if the pose and grander scale of the larger foxes appeals, or if one would like to have a collection of parent and child and a fox family, then the larger foxes are certainly quite endearing as well.
7.5 cm long x 2 cm wide x 5 cm high.
Solid maple.
Made in Germany.
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.
