Finger puppets
Before 5 – finger puppets and knitwear
A keen knitter since young, alongside a background in Early Childhood Education, started this venture. Initially to support what I was doing but then spread as people said “Can you make me some too”. The original pattern had 5 animals and they have been developed from there, and more recently as people ask for something specific for a favourite story, song, or movie.
As wool came in (Friend’s surplus, sales, leftovers from my own knitting and more recently OP Shops) I often found I had enough to knit for small children. Each of these is therefore unique as a result of what is hiding in the Stash. I can also make to order from available yarns or yarns and pattern supplied.

Chuckles
The creative mama behind Chuckles, Joyce, specialises in modern cloth nappies as well as a few other products for mums and babies. They are a relatively new home business based in Auckland, which launched early 2020.
Chuckles was built based on the strong belief that no parents should struggle to afford basic cloth nappies, even if it is starting with one nappy a day. Chuckles strive to provide a range of brands and styles of nappies (from affordable to premium) in our online store because they believe that every baby is different and their needs therefore differ.
They recently released a range of Kiwiana inspired nappies with sizes available for bigger kids as well.

Mammas Milk Bar
Wendy is the owner and mastermind of Mammas Milk Bar. She is a mum of 2 wee babes and started Mammas Milk Bar to help support women during their pregnancy and breastfeeding journeys based on her own experience.
During and after her pregnancy, she struggled with two things:
- Boosting milk supply in a HEALTHY way
- Finding clean protein that had NO nasty stuff to support my needs through my journey from pregnancy, postpartum to breastfeeding.
BOOSTING SUPPLY: She had low milk supply and didn’t want to rely on sweet treats or cookies(!), so she created healthy versatile blends using the best locally sourced ingredients
PROTEIN NEEDS: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, protein needs can increase between 70 to 100+ grams per day. Usually, a mama can meet all her protein needs by having a varied diet. But some women struggle because of morning sickness and need an additional boost. This is where clean protein powders can help.
So now Wendy brings these to every mamma out there, from a place of love and Aroha, from one mama to another. Authentic and honest clean protein, and healthy lactation booster blends, made from highest quality ingredients like dutch cocoa, real vanilla bean, organic coconut sugar, etc.
As a mum, it is so important to know what’s going into your body for your baby. Mammas Milk Bar uses 100% natural ingredients like real vanilla bean, dutch cocoa and organic coconut sugar.

Bibs & burp cloths
Ottie & me
Ottie & me make hard-wearing wipeable baby feeding bibs. We make them locally in New Zealand. They catch the mess in their generous pockets. Wipe them clean & save time (& water) by avoiding the washing machine. How many bibs do you machine wash each week?
More about the Maker:
I am Mieke and my Wellington business, Ottie & me make easy-care wipeable feeding bibs. When I couldn’t find the kind of bib I wanted for my daughter, I designed and made my own….and that was the accidental beginning of my business. The bibs are unique because they are SUPER easy to clean and dry very quickly so they’re ready to use again straight away, which means you only need one bib!!
They are a high-quality product, and with a classic (and well tested!) design, they look great, they work and they last.
They are invaluable to any parent/grandparent of wee ones and make a great baby shower, new baby, or birthday gift.

Nappies & changing, Out and about
Stork and Daisy
As a mum, if you’re witnessing the joys of a nappy change on the car’s front seat, you’ll understand where it all came from.
After her second baby was born, the two car seats in the back took away the normal changing spot and Stork and Dairsy creator had to resort to the dreaded change in the front seat. It became routine on those trips to the town when the boot was full of the prams and groceries.
These change pads are made of a mouldable bean bag, middle board, and foam while the top cover is made of durable cotton and the base is made of a hard canvas. The base of the bean bag is sewn into the flexible overall cover, and double stitched to ensure that no beans can escape. They are nice and slim so fit easily behind a seat or in the boot. The covers are removable for easy washing if need be.

Tautitotito
Tēnā tātou e te hāpori nei! Tēnei e mihi kau atu ki a koutou.
Kia ora everyone! I just wanted to take a minute to introduce Tautitotito, a business I started in 2017. We are a business that creates resources for Māori whānau to normalise Te Ao Māori in the home, through storytelling and storytelling tools.
We believe that what we surround our babies with matters, and we want all our babies to be surrounded by tools, toys, images, resources, you name it, that promote māori ways of being, thinking, knowing, and living!
Our first product is this little Taurite pukapuka here, a black and white image book for pēpi 0-9 months. Each of the images is connected to a traditional pan māori pūrākau. Black and white image books are proven to have cognitive benefits to developing minds, and help babies to use their eyes in tandem, to differentiate between shades, and help them use visual queues to learn.
