Ostheimer nativity figure donkey made of wood | Wooden figure

Product description:

The Ostheimer wooden donkey nativity figure, with its understated design, has been reduced to its characteristic shape. The donkey 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 donkey is perfect for hours of play and can be wonderfully combined with our wooden animals.

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 the wooden animals and figures are, the more they stimulate a child's imagination during play. This becomes especially relevant later, when children have to solve completely abstract tasks at school age, for which imagination and visualization skills are essential.

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, while also being part of a larger whole, such as an animal family or a themed world like a farm or forest, thereby teaching children basic connections.

Great wooden animals to go with the wooden donkey can be found in our Farm, Wooden Animals, Tractors & More category.
