Created in a village at the base of the Swabian Alb, Ostheimer wooden animal figures are handmade with tenderness and care, conveying the essence of each creature's form and spirit; this is why it's so easy for a 3 year old to start playing and why it's still fun for a 17 year old to play with creatively.  To capture the grain and beauty of the wood, each figure is traced, cut, sanded and stained 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 wood with a natural finish.  Unicorn is approximately 5 1/2" tall x 5" long x 3/4" wide.  Ages 3+.  Made in Germany
