Decisions, decisions - what will you dress your baby in today?

We have a range of beautifully handmade doll’s clothing to suit your Miniland dolls in a range of sizes. Choose from seasonal attire, sleepwear and accessories designed by an early childhood teacher and made locally, to ensure children can undress, and more importantly, dress dolls themselves.

Visit our website to see what’s in stock - with so many lovely fabrics and styles you’re sure to find a range of pieces to suit your dolls.

We’ve partnered with Tinta Crayons, a Melbourne based sustainable small business to stock these beautiful natural wax crayons.

These beautiful crayons have strong, blendable colours and are designed to support the development of children’s pencil grips. They are non-toxic and almost unbreakable - when cared for they will last you months or even years!

Visit our website to view our curated colour options or design your own box!

Thank goodness for reading spaces on Friday afternoons!

This reading corner in our recently set up kindergarten space provides a place where children can relax, recharge, and connect with stories that reflect their own experiences and spark their imagination.

One of our most loved products, the Animals of Australia hand crafted wood print blocks enable children to follow the print techniques of a thousand years to create on fabrics or paper. They can also be used with playdough or clay as children explore patterns, shapes and textures with Australian wildlife and flora and fauna.

These fairtrade treasures are available now on our website.

Ensuring every child can see themselves and their community in their learning environment is crucial - using a mix of high quality made for purpose, thrifted and donated resources makes home corners feel more like home for children.

Our utensils, enamel serving ware and op-shop finds complement this mini barista machine beautifully to promote language rich, collaborative play. The cash register stored in the cupboard enables this home space to be converted to a cafe by children at any time.

What will you make today?

We love the home corner in our recent kindergarten space set up and can already imagine the hours of rich, engaged play that will occur here.
Using an eclectic mix of new and thrifted treasures in this home corner space helps it feel less 'brand new.' At the early years treasury, we work with children, educators and the community to ensure all the spaces we design are reflective of the community they are in and the philosophy of the service.

Our Tasmanian timber rolling pins are child-sized and handcrafted exclusively for The Early Years Treasury using sustainably sourced timbers and made to food preparation standard.

Use these in the kitchen or in play and your child will learn how to apply gentle, even pressure with this French style rolling pin.

Head over to our website to order now - note that every rolling pin will have variations due to the timber used for each piece, resulting in a stunning range of earthy colours.

There’s something so special about setting up a new learning space - it’s like preparing a world of possibilities ✨

Every corner of this learning environment, used for supported playgroups has been thoughtfully created. Comfortable couches for adults and children to sit and read together, invitations for play between children and their caregivers and opportunities to connect with country, community and each other.
