Ostheimer Startaler

Startaler

The main character in the Grimms fairytale Star Money 

A classic good karma for kindness story where a poor child gives away all of her possesions to those more in need, when she has nothing left to give stars fall from the sky, becoming gold coins as she catches them in her petticoat.

Ostheimer have been handcrafting the finest natural wooden toys in Germany for more than 70 years. Inspired by the Waldorf educational principles of Rudolf Steiner, each figure is individually carved with love and care using Ostheimer’s signature soft shapes and gentle colours, bringing warmth and beauty into children’s imaginary play and story-telling.

Thoughtfully designed to fit into a child’s hands, the handcrafted nature of these heirloom toys gives each piece its own special charm and character. Made from sustainable European timber, the natural characteristics of the wood are enhanced by the use of non-toxic water colours and organics.

All Ostheimer toys are eco-friendly, vegan-friendly, ethically made, and meet or exceed strict EU safety testing standards.
