About Us
Hi and welcome to the new Tea Tree Gully Early Learning Supplies website!
Firstly, a bit about us..
Tea Tree Gully Early Learning Supplies started very simply, by making branch blocks from fallen branches for my third child and sourcing lots of natural loose parts that we could use in play.
It became a side hobby in early 2018 but has continued to grow from there!
We still very much have a focus on natural or nature-inspired resources. This is what we love!
As many of you will know, children are often drawn to natural resources where they stimulate their senses, imagination and creativity. Natural products encourage sensory exploration as well as help to foster a sense of wonder and appreciation of where these products came from. One of the wonderful features of wooden toys and natural products are that they are all slightly unique, rather than uniform, just like people.
We endeavour to supply Australian natural products (wood slices, seed pods etc) where possible. All of our Australian natural products are sourced in an ethical way with permission given by relevant bodies.
We are also trying to increase our range of items that are made in Australia and thus supporting other small Australian businesses.
We pride ourselves on fantastic customer service and going above and beyond so if you have any questions about our resources or are having trouble sourcing anything, please let us know and we will do our best to help.
We welcome all individuals and education centres looking to enhance their children’s connection with nature and learning through play, by being able to access our entire range of products.
For local educational centres, we are happy to come and visit if you would like to see some of our products in person - please send me an email or give me a call for more information on arranging this.
We also like to attend local markets occasionally & will advertise these on the website and facebook page. The positive feedback when meeting you all in person is so rewarding and it's great to be able to allow you all to see, touch, smell and appreciate how beautiful many of these resources are – which cannot be conveyed in a photo!
We are excited to have now opened a Sales & Display Centre in Banksia Park (SA). Please visit the Contact Us page for current opening hours.
