Wooden Kangaroo, Height 11.5 cm Care Instructions: For care simply use soapy water with a damp cloth for cleaning. Dry immediately. Please do not submerge in water and do NOT use disinfectant or hot water. Age Recommendation: 3+ years. Hand Crafting of each Ostheimer Piece: From the draft to the finished product Ostheimer toys pass through many hands while they are designed, sawed out, sanded, rubbed-off, painted, oiled, and shipped out: and each step in this long process of careful handcrafting is inspired by a wish to give children toys of truly high quality to play with. This way, each Ostheimer wooden figures becomes a valuable individual piece of work.
We had a little run in with the law ... First he dyed his hair blue and then things got out of control ... He was locked in the cop car UNTIL I opened the door to let him out to see the rest of the Summer Library Celebration. The kids had their hair sprayed with color and faces painted. We fell in love with this little hedgehog and got to touch him. We did boat races with water squirters. The kids always get so competitive with each other. There were craft stations, obstacle courses and a bubble station with fly swatters. Dress up is always fun. We had a blue haired senorita...
