About Us
Inspired by Our Son. Created for Yours.
We’re a husband-and-wife team, proud parents to a curious and energetic little boy—and eagerly expecting our second child—who completely reshaped the way we think about childhood, health, and the environment..
Our journey began with love, sleepless nights, and the beautiful chaos of raising our son. But early on, he began developing skin sensitivities — tiny rashes that led us to look more closely at the everyday items around him, including his toys.
That was when we discovered the power of natural wooden toys.
There was something truly comforting in them — their gentle texture, their warmth, and the way they encouraged open-ended, imaginative play. They weren’t just toys. They were tools for learning, feeling, exploring, and growing — in the most natural way possible.
From that moment on, we chose to fill our home with toys made from FSC-certified wood, finished with non-toxic, child-safe paints, and designed to support sensory development without overwhelming the senses. We saw the difference in our son — not just in his skin, but in his calmness, focus, and joy.
And so, CribandCrown was born — a heartfelt family project to share that same sense of safety, simplicity, and wonder with other families.
What We Stand For
🌿 Natural & Non-Toxic
All of our toys are made from FSC-certified wood, responsibly sourced from sustainably managed forests, and finished with non-toxic materials gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
🧸 Designed for Healthy, Meaningful Play
We believe childhood should be simple, open-ended, and screen-free where possible. Our toys encourage creativity, motor skills, and imagination in ways that last.
🛡️ Tested to Meet Australian Standards
Every toy we offer complies with Australian safety regulations, so you can feel confident in what your child is playing with.
💚 Better for the Earth
Our packaging is minimal and recyclable, and our toys are biodegradable — because we believe small changes at home help protect the world our children will grow up in.
👨👩👦 Family-Run with Heart
This is more than a business for us — it’s part of our parenting journey. Everything we offer has been tried, tested, and loved in our own home first.
A Moment That Changed Everything
We still remember when we handed our son his first wooden rattle. Smooth, safe, and beautifully simple — he held it in his tiny hands with a smile that said everything. No lights, no noise, just connection. That moment stayed with us, and it’s the kind of moment we want to help create in your home too.
We created CribandCrown to share what we’ve learned:
That the simplest toys, made with love and care, often bring the biggest joy.
And that raising children gently can go hand in hand with caring for the world around them.
Thank you for supporting a small family-run business with a big heart. We’re so happy you’re here.
With love,
The CribandCrown Family
