Welcome to …..
The Bush Babies Collection
Much of THE BUSH BABIES COLLECTION is either designed here in Australia, or predominantly utilises Australian-owned companies, and the products are made for cute Aussie babes and toddlers.
With all materials and designs in our portfolio being as natural and eco-friendly as possible, Bush Babies Collections are pure and sustainable for both baby and the environment. Health and wellness starts even before baby comes into this world, and our products allow ease of mind in knowing that only the best has been sourced and used for your precious one.
A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. The most precious jewels you’ll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children, so love, cherish and nourish them always.
Our products will get you off to a great start in Natural Cuteness!
Back to Nature
Babywearing
There is no lovelier place for a baby to be than held by a loved one. Babywearing is the term for carrying a baby in a sling. Snuggled into this secure ‘nest’ reminiscent of the womb, the feeling of being held and rocked is naturally soothing to babies making them safe & content and lulling them Back to Nature.
100% Organic Fabrics
Sadly, most clothing now contains unwanted chemical additives. The natural fibres found in organic clothing are best for your baby’s skin, being free from the contamination of pesticides or artificial fertilisers. The Garments and Soft Toys chosen for our Collections are made with buttery soft, 100% certified organic cotton and non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes. All painted toys and products are finished with non-toxic child-safe paints and lacquers.
Fair Trade Vision
Our Eco-Conscious Commitment is to be People & Planet Friendly. We aim to keep the earth’s resources in balance, emphasising the use of recycled or renewable natural materials and applying sustainable environmental practices. We choose to deal with product importers who ensure that their artisans have safe and healthy places to work and don’t employ child labour, giving the impoverished a chance to thrive and create change for themselves, their families and their communities.
Eco-friendly Toys
The emphasis on our Collections is to be as friendly to Mother Nature and our precious Planet as possible. The majority of the toys we choose are made from either Rubber Wood or Bamboo; both being sustainable timbers sourced and grown on plantations, assisting impoverished populations.
Sustainability
Sustainability is based on the simple principle that “everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have the water, materials and resources to protect human health and our environment.” Our aim is to contribute to a greener, brighter future for our planet, choosing our products accordingly.
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
Only textile products that contain a minimum of 70% organic fibres can become GOTS certified. Aim of the standard is to define world-wide recognised requirements ensuring organic status of textiles, from responsible harvesting of raw materials, through manufacturing & labelling, in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer. All chemical inputs such as dyestuffs & auxiliaries must meet certain environmental & toxicological criteria.
What we do best …..
Features of The Bush Babies Collection
Green and Sustainable
We bring to our repertoire products that are ethical, organic, sustainable, heirloom and up-cycled. The world is far too quickly filling up with mountains of poly-garbage and gullies of toxic effluent seeping into waterways, all creating destruction. We prefer to choose Green practises to help to minimise this negative impact upon the environment and the people.
Superior Quality
Quality also means greener; how well the product performs, & how well it holds up over time. We pay close attention to the aesthetics of our Collection; colours, prints, shapes, textures & intricate features, as well as the finesse of the manufacturing process. These factors set the items apart from cheap run-of-the-mill mass-produced throw-aways.
Keeping Baby Safe
Baby’s safety must never be compromised, hence we only offer items that comply with recognised international safety regulations. Toys for young children come in many shapes, forms & materials. When making purchases, ensure that you only choose products that are suitable for the age bracket that suits the intended child. Download the Keeping Baby Safe Booklet.

Family Business
Being a family owned and operated business ensures you will receive the most caring attention and assistance, on a one-on-one basis. We are always happy to advise and to offer suggestions and guidance. As a family of five, we understand all about the needs of babies and children, drawing from personal hands-on life experiences. We never offer anything we don’t personally love and approve – and we adore creating & designing, so keep an eye out for upcoming products that stand out from the crowd. We love individuality!
Colour, Fabrics and Designy
With all members of our family deeply involved in the arts & creative aspects of life, we relish choosing delightful mixes of colour, texture & good design for the items within our Collection. We lean heavily towards the beautiful & the extraordinary, and certainly love putting together ranges across our product categories. So, if you fall in love with a bunyip, you can be sure he will have wandered into our toys, soft goods & even bedding! Individuality is a must, so we pride ourselves on creating a magical & irresistible portfolio.
