This white wooden hen from Ostheimer is standing and looking up high - perhaps some chicken feed is about to be thrown.

Children will enjoy having her around their play farmyard with little chicks in tow. This wooden chicken's feathers are coloured by the wood grain, with a bright red red comb and yellow beak adding a splash of colour. This Ostheimer hen is perfect for a toy farm and is perfect for a variety of story sacks and nursery rhymes.

Waldorf-inspired, Ostheimer wooden toys are hand-crafted specially for children to hold and play imaginatively with minimal edges, shapes and colours. They will be handed down and loved for generations.

Margarete Ostheimer, a Waldorf (Steiner) teacher, began a collection of toys which enliven the imagination. In her own words: “It is the fantasy of our children alone that breathes life into the seemingly stiff wooden figures, the form and colour of which purposely have been reduced to an essential minimum. It is apparent how little coaching our children need to dive into their worlds.”

Ostheimer wooden toys have been loved by children for over 70 years. Each Ostheimer wooden figure is 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.
