Grimms Spiel and Holz Design



Beautiful Wooden toys constructed from alder, lime and maple wood from sustainable forestrys in Europe. All products are manufactured with love and handwork in Europe, most of them locally in Germany.



All colour dyes, high grade biological oils and glues used for they products fulfil the European Standards EN 71 for toy safety as well as the new CPSIA requirements concerning contents of lead and phthalates and are absolutely harmless to your children’s health.



This company uses mainly alder, lime, maple and cherry wood. Wood is natural and regenerative and stimulates the senses. It has texture, it is sometimes light, sometimes dark, it is hard or it is soft. It is rough or smooth and smells good. It sounds different, it is heavy or it is light. It has its own temperature. Bacteria cannot reproduce on wood. If it breaks, it can easily be fixed and it is recyclable. This all is not true for plastic or metal. Most of the products are grinded by hand -that gives a more charming expression compared to machined products.

We are so very excited about this line, coming to us straight from Germany.
We'll keep you posted on the arrival-order was shipped out today!!

Diaper Duty

A little intro to what the washing is all about....

Pretty simple, actually the easiest step in cloth diapering.

The key is have the right tools, we recommed a really great product made by
Jamtots down in Victoria.
The Pail liner/Wetbag.

This bag is used to store your soiled diapers in, when it's washing day simply toss diapers into the machine flip wetbag inside out and wash it and dry it with your
diapers. It's completely waterproof and durable!
Nature is a beautiful thing when it comes to diapers, if your exclusivly breastfeeding no need to rinse diapers as breastmilk poop is water soluable.
If there is any staining hang on the line or lay in a sunny window, the sun will do all the bleaching for you for free!
Simply turn your washer to its hot cycle add a smaller amount of detergent(we have great lists of appropriate ones)Wash then Dry. If diapers are very soiled then an extra soak or pre-rinse cycle may be needed.

So simple. Your already doing crazy amounts of laundry, what's one more load?
