Postcards like these are of course nice to receive in the mail, but they are quite popular for displaying on a little cardholder in a chosen spot in the home to create a little corner that changes with the seasons and holidays... The lovely illustrations can be a gentle and reliable companion with our inner and outer worlds as we travel through our year. Also as part of a display, some people chose little treasures found outdoors during a walk, or small scenes they set up to represent certain celebrations or traditions of the season. Some fresh flowers, some found rocks or berries or leaves, pinecones, all sorts of simple items can come together to create a 'nature table'.

Ostheimer toddler collection - natural wood horse
OH 00525
Regular price $22.00 Sale price $19.80 Save 10%The natural collection from Ostheimer is suitable for first wooden figures for young toddlers.
8.5 cm high.
Recommended for children from 1 year.
Wood grain may vary.
Ostheimer figures are made entirely by hand in Germany. The high quality of environmentally-friendly Ostheimer wooden toys is based on the use of certified materials. The warm, natural material of wood comes from sustainable domestic forestry and certified organic wood, and the selected childsafe and natural oils preserve the natural characteristics of the wood and make it tangible for the child. Many senses are thus involved: the grains of the surface of the wood, the smell of high-quality oils, the beautiful sight for the eye. Artistic and practical designing and painting have a focus so that the characteristic peculiarities of an animal's very typical appearance, in short its spirit, are expressed in it. This is so achieved, not in merely the naturalistic depiction that each outer detail creates, but rather the shapes and painting are deliberately limited to essentials; something special from the character and gesture of an animal or a human figure. The child is not getting something finished in the hand, not a detailed snapshot of a trotting horse with defined eyelashes and facial expression - rather, an Ostheimer wooden figure leaves the child completely immersed in the exciting world of "horse" and gives their imagination much space for play, again and again new scenes and situations to make: as the horse is galloping, standing, neighing, nestling their head against me or it lies down to rest. The design of Ostheimer figures can behave in typical fashion in their movement, as they can look at any moment quite different. All that is in the restrained design of the wooden figure in it, and the child can bring it out, imaginative play coming to life.
children's play horse harness (special order)
MER 70900375
Regular price $178.00 Sale price $135.00 Save 24%A very popular toy for kindergartens, schoolyards and at home, now with an improved design. With this beautifully finished play horse’s harness, children can run, play and ride endlessly. The halter and breastplate are made of durable, very strong cow leather. It includes a safety buckle that opens automatically when pulled too hard to prevent too much pressure on the “horse”. Nice to combine with our horseshoe bucket stilts (70900400) that sound like real horse hooves.
Material and specifications:
One child sports the harness wearing it as necklace around their neck, and with the reins which then come along and behind their sides for the other child to grasp. A fun game for children to play 'horsey' together, and moreover, a process to practice their coordination, physical communication and cooperation.
Older children and adults have been able to fit into the harness, although it is designed for play among primary/ elementary aged children.
Meets European toy safety standards.
Made in Germany.
