FINE TIP - Magic Marker Set

When it comes to caring for the planet, we’re committed to choosing the most sustainable options wherever possible. This involves; • Packaging our products in a fabric pouch instead of harmful, synthetic materials • Including cloth erasers with our reusable colouring sets to avoid any need for disposable wipes • Shipping customer orders in recyclable Australian-made mailer boxes • Paying a premium to have our products wrapped in paper instead of plastic • Using water-activated paper kraft tape for sealing our parcels • Producing our packaging through a local print-press that uses vegetable inks and a carbon-neutral process • Designing packaging that minimises waste • Using FSC-certified cardstock for our packaging and insertions • Donating or recycling imperfect products • Using LED lighting to save energy at our facilities • Reusing cartons for shipping wholesale orders • Choosing sea freight over air freight for moving inventory from our factories • Using paper labels and gift wrap instead of synthetic options • Partnering with Terracycle to repurpose used and pre-loved product components

Little Change Creators cares for people and our planet by using materials and manufacturing processes that are sustainable and safe. The silicone used in our Re-FUN-able™ Colouring Sets is derived from natural elements such as silica (sand), oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. We use only premium, food-grade silicone that's non-toxic and FDA-approved. It’s free of harmful chemicals such as BPA, BPS, PVC, phthalates and lead. Our silicone is also highly-durable, withstanding both heating and freezing without emitting any nasty chemicals (unlike many plastics and synthetic rubbers). We also make a conscious decision to use minimal packaging and materials derived from nature. Our Re-FUN-able™ Colouring Sets are packaged in a practical fabric pouch that’s robust and reusable. The outer sleeve is made from FSC-certified card and printed by a press that offsets carbon emissions. It’s also designed for repurposing as postcards and bookmarks to minimise waste. Little Change Creators proudly ships all orders in 100% recyclable materials, including paper hex-wrap, water-activated kraft tape, paper gift wrap and cardboard mailers.

We work closely with our factories, suppliers and partners to ensure ethical and sustainable practices are exercised. We have an agent who verifies our supplier’s credentials to safeguard workers and guarantee the quality and safety of our products. Our products are also independently-tested for compliance with Australian and international safety standards.

From little things, big things grow! That’s why giving back is part of what we do every day. From day dot, we’ve partnered with children’s charities and not-for-profit organisations to make a difference. Through our primary partner, Little Dreamers Australia, we regularly donate our products to the young carers they support. This provides creativity and escapism to kids who care for family members with a disability, addiction or chronic illness. Inside each Re-FUN-able™ Colouring Set is an impact token that unlocks our secret donation tally, so kids can join our journey to create positive change. We’ve also supported fundraising endeavours with community groups including Mission Australia, Fight Cancer Foundation, ChildFund Australia, various toy libraries, kindergartens and single parent groups. Plus, we’re excited to be working toward a couple of major partnerships in the healthcare sector!

As a mum-owned and family-run business, we understand that parenting sometimes throws up a few curve-balls. That’s why we have a flexible and child-friendly working environment. Founder, Paige, also has personal experience caring for people with disabilities and complex health needs. That’s why she’s passionate about purpose-driven business and strives to support people who are vulnerable or disadvantaged. Little Change Creators is committed to fairness across all ages, genders and abilities. We work with influencers and freelancers who are racially-diverse or have disabilities. We’re transparent about what we do and why we do it.

We’re really proud to be closing the loop as the only brand offering silicone colouring mats that can be recycled. Through our partnership with Terracycle, customers can return any pre-loved colouring mats (or accessories) for shredding and repurposing as playground mats, roadbases and sports surfaces. We look forward to developing this initiative further as our brand grows to become sustainable leaders within the Australian toy industry.
