Ostheimer
Waldorf Toys

It is the fantasy of our children alone that breathes life into the seemingly stiff wooden figures, the form and color of which purposely have been reduced to an essential minimum. Its apparent how little coaching our children need to dive into their worlds. Ostheimer artisans go to great lengths in shaping and crafting each individual figure so as to preserve this fantasy world and thereby to give children the ability to draw on their creativity during play.
In a visionary way and based on her studies of both progressive Waldorf education and spiritual anthroposophic ideas, Margarete Ostheimer began to create a collection of toys which today more than ever are justified and necessary.
The collection was established forty years ago as an alternative to a "plastic world" and is today a necessary counterbalance to the "high-tech world" of the playroom. An increase in loneliness and a lack of social values already bear witness to the consequences of a one-sided, intellectual upbringing. Today, it is generally accepted by professional people and indeed by the highest echelons of management, that it is not just specialized knowledge, but also flexibility and creativity that are vitally important. The days in which "a good final grade" was more important than "a wealth of ideas" have long since past.
Ostheimer has established itself as the premiere toy maker for wooden figurines in the tradition and concepts of Waldorf pedagogy. Welcome these artisan toys into your home. "Develop creative forces in play!"
