Australian brand 5 Little Bears create sustainable, educational and sensory wooden learning materials and toys for children. Their diverse and appealing range of high quality themed resources include space, dinosaurs, flora and fauna, transport, emotions and Australiana. Their unique and innovative designs follow children’s own interests and provide fun learning and tactile sensory experiences.

Founder, author and product designer Leanne Murner named the company after her 5 sons and is passionate about educating children on various topics, including Australian wildlife and the need to prevent extinction.

All entirely handmade in New South Wales, Australia, 5 Little Bears’ high quality learning resources are made from sustainably sourced Australian and New Zealand timber. Their sustainable production processes mean any waste is minimised and nothing is outsourced in creating the play and learning materials which are meant to last a lifetime. The 5 Little Bears team is made up of mums, with a flexible work environment enabling them to work and be mums without compromise.

5 Little Bears’ beautiful, engaging and eco-friendly activities, puzzles and games are multi-purpose and relevant to many areas of learning, both at home and in educational settings.
