Father | Dolls & Figures | Wooden Toys for Kids

The shoes are on, the jumper’s on, and there’s a full day of make-believe ahead. The Ostheimer Father fits beautifully into family play, but he’s just as believable as the farmer who opens the barn doors, checks on the animals, or heads out with the wheelbarrow at dawn. With a gentle smile, a blue jumper and brown trousers, he’s familiar and comforting without being too “fixed” to one storyline.
The Ostheimer Father is ideal for imaginative games and acting out stories wherever a dad, a man, or a helpful grown-up is needed. Like Waldorf-inspired figures, the details stay simple so children can decide the mood and the plot. Pair the Ostheimer Father with other family members, then add farmyard animals to grow an Ostheimer world that encourages communication skills through role play and supports a child’s interest in the natural world.
Made from sustainable maple wood, the Ostheimer Father is coloured with natural stains so the rich grain still shows through. Warm, smooth and tactile, he feels lovely in children’s hands and looks great displayed in a playroom or bedroom. Handmade in Germany, each Ostheimer Father is beautifully unique.
