Ostheimer Wooden Figures – Hedgehog

This cute hedgehog can be seen snuffling around in your garden or local woodland, looking for some tasty bugs or leaves to make a new home. Carved entirely from wood, their spikes are enhanced by handpainted brush strokes. 4cm high.

There’s also an adorable button nose and 2 dark eyes that can peep out from the undergrowth. Little ones will love holding the natural wood, which will feel warm and tactile in their hands. Add this Ostheimer hedehog to your story sacks, or see what delightful story your child comes up with.

Ostheimer have been making Waldorf wooden figures for generations with a desire to craft toys that inspire children to play freely and explore the world with all their senses. Each Ostheimer wooden figure is made in the traditional way by hand at every stage, sawn, sanded, painted and oiled. With these figures children can create imaginary worlds re-enacting scenes from their own experiences or conjuring fanciful worlds filled with exotic creatures and tales of wonder. All Ostheimer toys are made from local sustainable hardwood, painted with safe transparent paint and finished in organic oil to ensure a connection with nature and respect for the environment. Ostheimer are considered the quintessential maker of Waldorf wooden figures, their range is extensive so there is something for everyone.
