Why teach all Australian kids about traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander toys?
Teaching Australian children about traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander toys provides a great opportunity to:
- make connections between their lives today and how they differ from the past
- consider a time when resources were obtained directly from nature
- investigate the physical and chemical sciences involved in Aboriginal toy-making
- see parallels between the games played today and those played for thousands of years
- consider more sustainable ways to approach making things like toys.
A great addition to your collection of First Nations resources
