I am the Ostheimer Dragon - Perched atop the crumbling parapet, I survey the lands that stretch endlessly before me, my massive wings casting a shadow over the castle's keep. In the highest tower, the princess dwells, I guard her, not out of malice, but out of duty. Her presence sustains the old magic that courses through my veins, a tether to a time when dragons ruled the skies. 

Their form and colour are purposely kept to a minimum so that your child's fantasy world is preserved and so that their own creative imagination inspires their play. . There is no "right" or "wrong" way to play with Ostheimer buildings or animals and therein lies the beauty of these wonderful wooden toys. Over 50 years ago Margarete Ostheimer began a collection of toys which today more than ever is justified and necessary. The collection was established fifty years ago as an alternative to a "plastic world" and is today a necessary counterweight to the "high tech world" of the playroom.
