Created in a village at the base of the Swabian Alb, Ostheimer wooden animal figures are handmade with tenderness and care.  To capture the grain and beauty of the wood, each animal is traced, cut, sanded and painted by hand.  This craft goes back generations, and is based on the premise of making a simple, pleasing, natural toy.  Ostheimer toys are works of art meant to be played with and loved throughout childhood - and they add to the beauty of your home when sitting on the shelf, too.  Alder and maple wood with a natural finish.  Adorable St Bernard Puppy is approximately 2 1/2" long x 2" tall x 1" wide.  Ages 3+.  Germany
