Nature Play Australia is a
family run business and was founded in 2002, after Irene observed the
success of Nature Play in New Zealand, 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.
Although 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.
The business is based in
Brisbane, Australia and not only sends products nationally but 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 imagination.
provide us with a deep well of knowledge in understanding the needs of
the end users of their 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.
