Tea parties always lift our mood.  We love drinking up a pretend almond chai or a skinny mocha latte. Mmmmmmmm yum ( wish it was the real thing).  There once was a time when we didn't order a skinny chai latte or a soy flat white. Coffee or tea was it. We actually prefer a really really really milky tea with lots of sugar or just a regular chai latte. Today's 3-year old Barista's will grow up with all the new cafe lingo.

But a good host should always serve their guest first. Manners are important these days, "how many sugars Charlotte?".This tea set  is designed to sit loud and proud on your coffee table next to your designer coffee table books. It's stylish just like your little Barista in the making, and not pink or blue for only boys or girls. Ahhhhhh sit back and pass me a cuppa.And we like things neat, so we also have designed a beautiful cardboard box to pack your tea set away in afterwards.

Remember watching your Mum get ready to go out for a fancy dinner? She would pile on the rouge and if you were lucky, bend down and softly brush your cheek with a dusting of pink. Now that you’re the grown up, you can save your makeup for yourself but still have the precious moment beside your little one, as they explore our iconic beauty kit.

We’ve created this beautiful play beauty kit as a keepsake toy that will last through all of your children’s years of playing dress-ups, shops, and Mum’s and Dad’s. It’s made from timber instead of plastic, and is designed to be a timeless addition to their toy collection that invites imagination into your home, and into their play.

Now you can invite even more friends over for tea! Our iconic tea set extension kit sets you up perfectly to host a party of four and even introduce them to something new - fancy an organic Matcha  Tea instead of your usual Earl Grey hon?

Feel like a little spice? Let me brew you a Chai. Want to try something zestier?How about a Lemon Ginger infusi on with a fresh slice of Lemon! Just like our classic tea set, this kit is designed to be a beautiful addition to any play space, with neutral wood tones that both boys and girls will love.

Remember — a good host should always serve others first, and offer the best bickies to their guests. Making your friends feel loved is better than any jam-filled treat! Now pop on the kettle Darl, I think it’s the perfect time for some tea!

You know you are a Aussie Kid when you eat Weet-Bix for breakfast (and know the theme song by heart) or if you know what it means to say "it's going straight to the pool room". To be an Aussie Kid you have to have the real Aussie stuff and not the stuff we are forced to have because we don't have an iconic substitute available. So we felt every Aussie Kid should also have a set of rare Aussie wood vehicles in their home to just simply play with. We usually get stuck with the London Bus or New York Taxi versions of toy cars

So dream of being an Aussie Fire Fighter, or a Aussie Police Officer, or the local happy-go-lucky Posty. Any profession that involves wheels and the need to get somewhere quick to save the day will do. Or enjoy the simple daydreams about rolling down to the beach in an Aussie Ute to check the waves over bright lights and sirens. Whatever they’re into, your little ones have hours of fun ahead of them with our iconic Aussie vehicle set.

Our take on the timeless game of cars includes some of the funnest machines on the road, from the iconic Holden Sandman Panel Van to the trusty little retro-orange Ute, to the Big Red Fire Truck (not the British one!). Made from wood and made for endless imaginative play with their mates.

Most Australians undeniably have some Arnott’s Shapes in their cupboard as a snack. Somehow Shapes were guaranteed to be at every kids party since you were little, and always sitting next to your sandwich in your school lunchbox — right? The dispute will continue over which flavour is best, whether you’re a Pizza or a Barbecue person. And then there is the unsung hero, the Chicken Crimpy (maybe robbed of its rightful tiara). Whichever you choose, they are here to stay.

Now you can add a classic Aussie snack to your kitchen play set for even more fun. Forget the American style cookies or the French branded fromage cheese toys for your kitchen set — these mini wooden Arnott's Shapes are so much more iconic and are a delightful size for little hands to share, swap, count and organise. And when the fun is over for the day, store them in their keepsake little tins. Yummy, nostalgic, nice’n’neat and as authentically Australian as a Ute. Perfect.

Rumour has it the "Ute" came about from a letter a farmer wrote to Ford asking for a "vehicle to take his wife to church in on Sundays and take his pigs to market with on Monday's". The Ute has been a much loved part of the Australian iconography since the 1930's. From the Jackaroo, to the Farmer, the Revhead Tradie the iconic Ute fits the bill. So whether you want to throw your surfboard in the back, bring your dog to the park or take your tools to the job, a Ute is likely to be you ride of choice. We have created our impression of the Ute with all the nostalgia and love you would expect for a classic toy for your little one. So let them open their minds to all the jobs this classic vehicle supports - or just a cruise down the open road to the beach. Vroom Vroom. 

Comes complete with 3 passengers and accessories. It has wheels on the bottom (for vroom vrooming) and the lid comes off the top to access the passengers.

Days of camping are forever ingrained in our minds, as well as arguments with our siblings. What we found ourselves cooking over-and-over again is damper and boiling tea from the Billy Can. Our Aussie Camp Fire set lets you recreate these outdoor memories - in the comfort of your own home if you don't feel like getting your fingers dirty or sleeping bags wet. And perfectly-on-point in front of your indoor tent or tepee.

Simple emoji's have been around for awhile (remember the happy face in the 80's?).  And with the rise of smartphones they have really been brought - errrrrrr - more into the mainstream. Ever wondered what a certain emoji actually means? Ever used to wrong emoji when texting your mate? These little faces might be second nature to the millennial or i-generation but for some of us it doesn't come that easy. Learn your emoji's with your two year old instead of the times table and let them teach you something for a change. They’re used everywhere so get used to it; from text messages to Instagram. What ever each character means is often subject to debate and might be an area of conversation in your family. This puzzle also is great for speaking about emotions and isn't it better that you are all talking and playing rather than using your phones?

THIS is how Australians do a Aussie Burger with The LOT! Burger Bun - a soft pillowy with sesame seeds. It should withstand juices and burger sauces. Lettuce A slice of ice berg lettuce adds a bit of crunch. Onion - raw or slowly cooked to golden brown. Pineapple - a slice of pineapple is the quintessential signal that you are actually eating an True Blue Aussie Burger. Sauce - BBQ style with a hint of smoky flavour but definitely dark in colour. Beetroot - Typically Australian. Why? Because it gives it a sweet flavour and best added last to avoid sogginess. Bacon - salty, sweet, delicious. Tomato - some people like them, some don't. You choose. Egg - the fried egg is another symbol of an Australian burger with The Lot. The yolk must be soft and oozing. Cheese - we like cheddar, melted for best effect and optimal taste. Beef - the foundation of any good burger with a bit of char on the outside.

This giant style puzzle comes with a back board and 13 wood pieces that are thick and chunky for little ones to slam into their correct slots.

Days of going to the Milk Bar and asking for a bag of milled lollies for only $1 are ingrained in our minds. "I'll have 2 chocolate freckles please, 3 gummy bears, 2 musk sticks and don't forget my lollypop!" We never got the pre-mixed bags of lollies; we created our own mix of sweets no matter how long it took. We loved the feeling of the white paper bags in our hands and the delicious treats that were waiting inside to try. Those were the days. Childhood memories when sweets were the only currency we were trading in.

Create all the pretend sweet treats you can imagine with our iconic Candy Jar set! Complete with all the lollies you can remember and a wooden scoop with paper bags, so you can hoard your lollipops, donuts, candy-canes in the Candy Jar and serve them to your friends. Let your children open their minds to a good old fashioned candy land - without the teeth cavities.
