Welcome to
The Dandelion Collective

Hello friends, I’m Tess!

As a qualified early childhood teacher, and a mum, play is central to my life and one of my greatest passions - a passion I want to share with you all!
While on leave recovering from an injury that afforded me a lot of time alone with my thoughts, the idea for The Dandelion Collective was born. It’s true what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and my heart was truly missing creating beautiful and meaningful sensory play experiences for tamariki.

The Dandelion Collective provides curated and intentional experiences for your little ones to play, explore and get messy alongside others.

I can’t wait for you to join us!
