Startaler – Ostheimer

The beautiful handmade wooden Startaler girl toy figure from the Ostheimer fairy tale worlds range will certainly please your young dreamer!

Children love to immerse themselves in the imaginative world of fairy tales and breathlessly they listen to the tales of Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood, of Princes and princesses. With the carefully handcrafted wooden Ostheimer figures children may relive the stories they heard. The design of the beautiful fairy tale figures reflects their beauty and imaginative character.

This Ostheimer figure tells the story of the Grimm’s fairy tale “Star Money”: a goodhearted orphan girl has only her clothing and a loaf of bread that a kind soul has given her. She gives a hungry beggar her bread, and to three cold children she gives her winter hat, her jacket, and her dress. After wandering into a forest, she sees a naked child begging for a shift (long undergarment), and since it is dark and she cannot be seen, she gives her own away. As she stands there with nothing left at all, suddenly stars fall to earth before her, transforming into talers (silver coins), and she finds herself wearing a new dress of the finest linen. The story ends with her being rich. (Source)
