We make learning fun

At Kidstart Australia we believe that children really are the future. We're passionate about helping the next generation succeed in ways we can only dream about today. We've founded our business on creating the best foundation for this life-long journey of learning.

We're committed to making each and every early-stage learning experience as entertaining as possible.

Research has proven, time and time again, that children learn best when they're having fun. Even more so when parents and teachers can confidently support them along the way.

In pursuit of these goals we've sourced products shaped by decades of rigorous research and grass-roots teaching experience. Our products use colours, shapes and familiar images to stimulate young minds and create progressive learning opportunities. They also guide parents and teachers intuitively through the learning process. Watch as your child's confidence quickly grows.

Designed with care

We ensure every toy we sell is tested and certified as safe for children. This testing is conducted by reputable, internationally recognised laboratories like TÜV Rheinland, Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) and Intertek. We review the testing reports of our suppliers and conduct our own product inspections.

Proudly Australian

Kidstart Australia has been proudly Australian owned and operated for more than decade. We're a family run business. Two generations of our extended family help manage it every day.  

We've searched long and hard for boutique suppliers offering quality toys at the best price. We prefer those who care about our planet as much as we do. This means we're committed to sourcing and supplying products made from sustainable, eco-friendly materials; in safe, ethical factories.

A child's motivation influences how much and how fast they learn. Motivated learners are easy to recognize. They're determined and willing to persistent until they succeed.

Psychologists distinguish between two kinds of learning motivation: extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation.

Extrinsic motivation occurs when positive rewards are used to increase the frequency of positive learning behaviour. Praise, awards, money and food can be used for that effect.

Intrinsic motivation occurs when a child actively participates in learning activities without a need for rewards. A child who enjoys showing you pictures in a book or a railway set they've built is intrinsically motivated. We source products designed to stimulate and promote their natural curiosity.
