Snail | Woodland Animal Figure | Wooden Toys for Kids

Slow down the whole play scene with the Ostheimer Snail. The Ostheimer Snail is a lovely detail that makes a big difference, inviting children to notice the small things – a garden path after rain, a leaf to climb, a trail across the “forest floor” of a play mat. Mostly left natural with just a few gentle brushstrokes to pick out its shell and feelers, it slips beautifully into any small-world setup without stealing the show.
The Ostheimer Snail is a lovely Waldorf-inspired figure for story sacks and nature play. It can join a whale on a round-the-world adventure, appear in a fairytale woodland, or simply recreate the snails your child has spotted outside, supporting curiosity about the natural world. The natural wood grain does the clever work here, giving the Ostheimer Snail a warm, tactile feel and those earthy brown tones that feel instantly familiar.
Made from sustainable maple wood and finished with non-toxic, water-based colours, the Ostheimer Snail feels smooth and satisfying in little hands. Each Ostheimer Snail is handmade and slightly unique, and it pairs brilliantly with other Ostheimer animals to build a collection that encourages communication, observation and open-ended play.
