Step into the magical world of Sumselinchen, one of the two main characters in Daniela Drescher's picture book Pepe and Sumselinchen. This Waldorf-style Ostheimer elf is beautifully hand-painted in a red dress, a whimsical little figure that children love inventing stories for.
She is perfect for small-world play, a story sack built around the book or a woodland scene among the Ostheimer animals and trees. Children aged 3 and up give her adventures of her own long after the story has been read, and she makes a lovely companion for Pepe, her friend from the same tale.
Expertly crafted from solid maple wood and coloured with natural stains so the grain shows through, she is smooth, warm and tactile and comes alive in children's hands, an heirloom-quality figure to be handed on. Handmade in Germany, each Sumselinchen is beautifully unique.
Details: Handcrafted from natural, solid wood — Maple — painted with non-toxic, water-based stains and finished with plant-based oils. Colours and wood grains vary; Size: approx. 11.3 x 9.1 x 2.5 cm
