OUR STORY
Hi, I'm Kate, Mum to 3 littles- Jack, Thea, and Leo, aND WE LIVE JUST OUTSIDE York IN A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE TOWN CALLED MALTON.
Belle + Bear was born after struggling to find any lovely, modern, HIGH quality gifts for babies and children which didn't cost the earth, were well-made, and I could find in the UK. I started making a few bits for friends babies, and absolutely loved it, and it grew from there.
We now DESIGN AND PRODUCE OUR OWN EXCLUSIVE SILICONE TEETHING PRODUCTS, AND make and stock teethers, dummy clips, gift sets, teething jewellery, muslins and more! We specialise in gift sets and are always happy to make one to fit any budget.
Safety is our first priority. All our teethers, dummy clips, playgym toys and pram garlands are all made in accordance with the mandatory safety directives laid out in BS EN 71-1-3:2014 for toys, and BS EN 12586:2007+A1:2011, and our products are regularly sent off for independent testing at accredited laboratories.
We now also sell wholesale (click here for info) either complete pieces to shops, or beads and materials other makers.
We absolutely love doing custom orders and will always do our best to make whatever your heart desires! pLEASE DO CONTACT US here,
Thank you so much to all our lovely customers for their continued support, and for enabling this Mama to do a job she loves and still be able to collect the kids from school.

My 3 month old is very intrigued by the hanging toys- we use it multiple times a day, and I'm looking forward to using them as teething toys as she grows.
