"For Toys that foster the imagination" and may last a lifetime.
Nature Play Australia is a family run business and was founded in 2002, after Irene observed the success of Nature Play in N.Z, where it all began. Irene has a passion for sharing her knowledge with the community about the importance of natural toys in child's play, while offering beautiful toys and products to many wonderful people who love them just as much as she does.
We stock products from 'Fair Trade Co-ops' and other sources internationally, wherever possible the products sold by Nature Play are primarily handmade and locally sourced. It is very important to us to support local craft artisans and offer predominantly Australian made products.
Nature Play is based in Brisbane, Australia and sends products nationally and worldwide too.
We have witnessed, first hand, the positive effects on the creative well being of our own children with the beautiful Steiner inspired Nature Play toys. This practical experience, as well as a philosophical grounding from observing the educational benefits of using toys to foster the imagination provides us with a deep well of knowledge in understanding the needs of the end users of our products.
The Nature Play online toy store is designed to help our customers to select appropriate toys, art, craft and games for individual children, from babies to teenagers, there is even a small range for Mum's, Dad's and Grandparents too.
