Welcome to busykiwi.co.nz, We are David and Cherie and we go by the name BusyKiwi.
We're based in Dinsdale, Hamilton, New Zealand.
Whether you're looking for a mud kitchen for pretend play / messy play, a builders bench, display stand for a market stall, sandwich board or something a bit different, we can possibly help you.
Our passion is for designing & developing creative solutions that enables everyone to come away happy, whether it be for an individual, preschool, kindergarten, school, early learning centre or private, there is something for everyone.
We started making the mud kitchens before covid hit the world. My partner Cherie from Ree's books asked me to make her friend a mud kitchen. I was like many people today, "What's a mud kitchen?".
So after a bit of research I found the market in NZ to be at both extremes. Top dollar or built with pallets and things that wouldn't last, so I set about to create a messy play kitchen that would last the time and be cost effective.
My mission is to build and supply an affordable option with room to enhance by way of the new owners painting / oiling / staining or letting it age naturally.
The kids have taught me a lot making these mud kitchens and the smiles on their faces is worth the effort that goes into them.
We do markets for Ree's books and have been making the display stands for many marketers over the years.
I was even lucky enough to find the very first display stand I made (roughly around 2014) and replace it for them with a newer updated version.
