The Ostheimer Tractor Driver / Young Farmer brings the everyday life of the farm into children’s imaginative play. As a young farmer, he is already an experienced pair of hands, spending his days caring for the animals, cultivating the fields and helping to bring in the harvest. His enthusiasm for farm life makes him a wonderful companion for any small-world farm setting. Children can imagine him climbing into the tractor to head out across the fields, checking on the crops or carrying out all the many jobs that help a farm run smoothly. Perhaps he is bringing in hay before the rain arrives, tending to the animals at the end of a busy day, or working alongside other farmers during harvest time. His role can change with every story, giving children the freedom to explore different aspects of life on the farm. Beautifully suited to open-ended play, the Ostheimer Tractor Driver can be combined with farm animals, buildings, trees and other figures to create rich and detailed farm scenes. The simplicity of the figure allows children to decide who he is, what he is doing and where the day's adventures will take him, supporting storytelling and imaginative exploration without prescribing a single way to play. Play and Story Inspiration The Ostheimer Tractor Driver / Young Farmer is perfect for creating farm stories centred around caring, responsibility and the changing seasons. Children can imagine him driving through the fields, feeding animals, planting crops or gathering the harvest, while combining him with other Ostheimer figures to build a lively farm community. His open-ended character encourages children to explore everyday farm life through their own stories, bringing movement, purpose and imagination to small-world play.
