Aboriginal design Educational Seating Mats (Set 6) - Tools

• Set (6) x 0.3m wide
• Material:  Recycled car tyres and PET bottles
• MADE IN AUSTRALIA

These mats make great individual seating mats on school excursions, school assemblies, when the Arts Council bring a visiting show, and in modern classrooms where seating is flexible and child-led. Kids can use these mats and their illustrations in games and transition moments to learn about Aboriginal cultural symbols.  They can be a starting point for discussion and further research.
Aboriginal cultures use symbols to share creative stories, create rules and give directions. Helping children interpret the language of symbolic communication brings benefits for general cognitive development as well as cultural understanding.
