Description
Who lives inside Acorn Cottage?
High in the trees where the forest feels still and the light filters softly through the leaves, sits a small and sturdy cottage beneath a gently curved, acorn-shaped roof.
This is Acorn Cottage – a quiet place above the forest floor, where two thoughtful owls watch the world below.
Pip is curious and observant, always noticing the little things others might miss.
Bramble is calm and wise, happiest perched nearby, taking it all in.
As day turns to dusk, they come to life – gliding through the trees, exploring their woodland home and returning to their cottage as the forest settles for the night.
Acorn Cottage invites children into this peaceful world, where stories unfold slowly and imagination leads the way.

Why This Matters
At Imagine That Creations, we believe play is not just something children do – it’s how they learn, grow and make sense of the world around them.
Through imaginative, open ended play, children begin to:
- Develop language through storytelling
- Build confidence through self led play
- Strengthen social and emotional skills
- Create calm, focused moments of play
- Encourage imaginative storytelling and oral language development
Simple, hands-on play also supports important developmental foundations, helping to build the neural pathways needed for learning, coordination and focus.
That’s why a portion of every Acorn Cottage sold goes directly to I Am Hope, helping support their in-school mental health program’s for young people across New Zealand.
Because when children are given space to imagine, explore and play freely, they’re not just playing – they’re growing.
