Encouraging kids to get down to earth

New Zealand company 'Seedling' has created some good old fashioned presents for those children who have everything or love getting outside. From growing your own vegetable garden to exploring for bugs and beetles, the range is exciting and something a little different.

'The seed for our company was planted in 2006 when we couldn't find a meaningful and inspiring gift for children who had plenty of mass produced toys that were played with for 10 mins and then discarded.

We yearned for a good old-fashioned experience that meant time shared, skills gained and something that kids could really dig their teeth into.

Since then Seedling NZ has grown to a small passionate team designing, developing and creating all our own products on a small farm in Whitford, Auckland.

We inject pure passion into our products allowing children to work with real materials and tools giving them a sense of mastery and achievement whilst having fun and engaging with adults.'
