Ostheimer Wooden Figures – Woodpecker

This male lesser spotted woodpecker has a striking look with a red crown, dark wings and light coloured breast.

This Waldorf bird has been handmade in Germany from solid, sustainable hardwood and stained with eco water-based colour. This woodpecker is smooth, warm and tactile – perfect for children’s hands and popular with ornithologists too.

Ostheimer have been making Waldorf wooden figures for generations with a desire to craft toys that inspire children to play freely and explore the world with all their senses. Each Ostheimer wooden figure is made in the traditional way by hand at every stage, sawn, sanded, painted and oiled. With these figures children can create imaginary worlds re-enacting scenes from their own experiences or conjuring fanciful worlds filled with exotic creatures and tales of wonder. All Ostheimer toys are made from local sustainable hardwood, painted with safe transparent paint and finished in organic oil to ensure a connection with nature and respect for the environment. Ostheimer are considered the quintessential maker of Waldorf wooden figures, their range is extensive so there is something for everyone.
