Ostheimer nativity figure ox made of wood | Wooden figure

Product description:

The Ostheimer wooden nativity ox, with its understated design, is reduced to the typical shape. The ox is ideal for recreating the Christmas nativity scene with all the nativity figures (not included) or, during the rest of the year, for playing with wooden animals.

The wooden ox is perfect for hours of play and wonderfully complements our wooden animals.

Why playing with abstract wooden toys and animals is good for children's development

Playing with animals and figures becomes fascinating as soon as children can grasp objects in a coordinated manner and remains a focus until school age, if not longer. The more abstract wooden animals and figures are, the more they stimulate a child's imagination during play. This becomes especially relevant later, when children of school age have to tackle completely abstract tasks that require imagination and the ability to visualize in order to solve them.

At the same time, wooden animals and figures also support your child in telling and acting out stories. They can represent themselves as individual wooden figures, but at the same time they are also part of a larger whole, such as an animal family or a themed world like a farm or forest, thereby teaching children fundamental connections.

You can find wonderful wooden animals to go with the wooden donkey in our Farm, Wooden Animals, Tractors & Co. category.
