Who is Playdreamers?

Playdreamers is a micro family business owned and operated by myself - mum of three boys, Hannah.

We launched from home as an online store in April 2019. I'd pack orders of an evening with two toddlers by my side, spending late nights adding products to the store and sourcing new items.

During the pandemic I nervously opened our first brick & mortar store in Forster, NSW and in 2022 welcomed a third son.

Fast forward to mid-2024 when a larger space in a sought-after location was calling my name. We relocated our tiny Forster store from a quiet street to the hustle and bustle of Wallis Street in Forster; just off the bridge into town.

I am excited to have welcomed Chloe, a mother of two girls and dear friend, to the team and adore our days together bouncing ideas off each other and sourcing treasures for the children in your lives.

I am so grateful you found us. Your support is incredible - we wouldn't be here without our wonderful customers. Thank you for being here.

Please join us on social media by searching @playdreamers to keep up to date with all the fun. And always feel welcome to reach out - we love getting to know you!
