Ostheimer Nativity Scene with Star made of Wood | wooden crib

Product description:

The Ostheimer nativity stable, including a wooden star, features a discreet design reduced to the typical shape of a stable. The wooden playhouse is ideal for recreating the Christmas nativity scene with nativity figures (not included) or, during the rest of the year, as a stable for playing with farm animals. The package includes a yellow wooden star, so the stable can also be used as a nativity scene with the appropriate figures during the weeks before Christmas.

The wooden stable/nativity scene is perfect for hours of play and can be wonderfully combined with our farm animals as well as the tractor and horse trailer.

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

Playing with animals and figures becomes fascinating as soon as children can grasp objects in a coordinated way 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 particularly 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 wooden figures, while simultaneously being part of a larger whole, such as an animal family or a themed world like a farm or forest, thereby teaching children basic relationships.

You can find wonderful wooden animals that match the stable in our Farm, Wooden Animals, Tractors & Co. category.

The manufacturer: Since 1939, Ostheimer has been making wooden toys for children, guided in part by the principles of Waldorf education. Ostheimer has received multiple awards for its social and cultural commitment. Ostheimer's wooden figures are made and painted entirely by hand. The wood used comes from Central European forestry. Each product is therefore unique, with its characteristic design encouraging children to play imaginatively. The high-quality materials are certified and comply with all toy safety requirements.
