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 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 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 relationships.

The manufacturer: Since 1939, Ostheimer has been making wooden toys for children, following, among other things, 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 in its characteristic design, encouraging children to engage in imaginative play. The high-quality materials are certified and comply with all toy safety requirements. Here you can find more wooden toys from Ostheimer.
