100 Natural. 100% Eco-friendly. 100% Non-toxic. 100% Australian made and owned.
Fill your home with hours of magic and marvel with the latest in our sustainable line of play and discovery toys. Our Eco Stamps are a first of their kind, reducing material to lessen our impact on Mother Earth. How? A standard dough stamp has it’s own individual handle, our Eco Stamps are created with one handle lock and a slot for each print. One handle and as many imprints as you like! Less stuff, more fun and no waste!
We didn’t just design these with the environment in mind, as a mother and father team, we are always seeking more ways to enhance our children’s development through play. Our patented protected design can help improve your child’s fine motor skills and coordination development thanks to the interchangeable slides.
Designed by us and tested by our children, we now bring these to your family. Natural, safe and locally sourced, you can buy with confidence knowing each piece comes with a story of sustainability.
Each stamp and handle lock is designed from recycled wood mill sawdust, and plant-based biodegradable plastic; then brought to life in our home studio in the beautiful Wollondilly Shire. As they are made in small batches, each stamp has its own unique charm and character.
We wanted to bring nature into these creative moments. Dough playing and painting is such an integral part of all children’s development, helping build their own creativity, sensory learning and motor-skills. These will be part of your child's imagination and memories; it's worth making them as unique as your brood. Enjoy the collection of different stamps, in nature-inspired designs. Let's make play more natural.

My Early Childhood Philosophy -
Childhood is a unique time of life, to be enjoyed and valued. It is a time where the foundations for lifelong learning and wellbeing are laid. As a professional early childhood educator first and foremost in all that I do, is the rights of the child.
I acknowledge the traditional people of the land on which I live and work. I pay my respects to elders, past and present as they hold the traditions and hopes for the future of this land.
