Sleepy Kiwi Books, Baby Toys & Play Essentials
Introduce little ones to charming Kiwi characters with Sleepy Kiwi, a New Zealand collection created by award-winning author and illustrator Kat Quin. Beginning with beautifully illustrated stories, the range brings familiar characters off the page and into everyday play with sensory books, playmats, soft toys and family activities.
At The Sleep Store, discover Sleepy Kiwi and Kuwi Baby products designed for reading, tummy time, play and gifting.
Sleepy Kiwi for Baby’s First Play
The Sleepy Kiwi Quilted Playmat creates a soft space for tummy time and floor play from birth. Made from organic cotton, its black-and-white design provides high-contrast imagery for developing eyes. At a generous one metre in diameter, there's plenty of room for baby to move and explore.
The Sleepy Kiwi Fabric Book continues the high-contrast theme. Made from soft organic cotton, this fold-out book includes a gentle crinkle for sensory exploration and can stand independently during tummy time.
Books, Characters & Kiwi-Inspired Fun
The original Sleepy Kiwi Book introduces little ones to Sleepy Kiwi through a simple black-and-white board book designed for sharing with babies.
The wider collection also features beloved Kuwi characters. Kuwi the Kiwi Soft Toys bring story time to life for older children, while the Kuwi & Friends Wharewhare game combines family fun with basic te reo Māori and English vocabulary.
These products make thoughtful New Baby Gifts, birthday presents and distinctly New Zealand gifts for families living here or overseas.
