Puzzles, Toys
Kidz Jigz
Original Designed Jigsaws to educate young minds. Kidz Jigz, a mother and daughter team (also known as the puzzle ladies) who work from their homes in Tauranga, New Zealand.
It all started back in the day when Saasha’s girls said “Mum can you make us a puzzle.” Big mistake – they are now teenagers saying “Mum do we have to put the puzzles together” and we say “well do you want to go to the movies”.
All jokes aside, it’s been a lot of hard work and determination but we are so glad that fateful day happened as we are both doing a job which we love and find very rewarding.
It’s nice to go to centres and see children loving our puzzles. Big thanks to our family (especially Dad) for all the help and support over the years and our loyal customers who make Kidz Jigz what it is today.

Hello everyone! I am based in the Tararua District and create clothing in my little sewing studio. I stated sewing for myself and my children 4 years ago as I was sick of the synthetic, poor quality and generic looking clothing I found in stores.
My most popular items are womens’ and children’s underwear. But regularly make hoodies, pants and tees. I work with mostly cotton and merino fabrics.
I can make most children’s items up to a size 12/14 and women’s up to 3xl.

Wooden toys
Moo & The Gang
A homeschooling family, living fulltime on the road in our vintage bus! Here is the story of Moo & The Gang:
As a Steiner/Waldorf inspired family with small children on one income, beautiful handmade toys were well out of our finances league. So, as true children of our great DIY nation, we made our own!
A few years, and a couple more children {making a total of 4!} down the track, and now proudly a Steiner/Waldorf inspired home-educating family, we decided to share the handmade love.
Our wooden toys are free-cut, sanded, painted with non-toxic waterbased paints, and sealed with a beeswax-coconut oil blend.
We hope our lovingly crafted pieces enrich your home, and inspire you in your own pursuits of DIYness and creativity!
Note: If anyone in your family has a nut allergy that prohibits the use of coconut oil please contact us and we will discuss other sealing options with you.
