Specifications
The Dowel Rods – Pack of 30 offer a versatile and durable craft and construction material ideal for a wide range of STEAM, creative, and design-based learning activities. Each dowel is made from quality wood and measures 90cm in length and 6mm in diameter, providing a generous size for projects that require length, stability, and adaptability.
These rods are perfect for constructing puppets, mobiles, kites, flags, structures, and more. They can be painted, glued, and easily cut to size with appropriate tools, giving children the opportunity to customise their creations and practise measurement and tool-handling skills. Whether used in art projects, science models, or collaborative building tasks, dowel rods are a staple material that encourages open-ended exploration and hands-on learning.
Made in Australia, these rods are ideal for both individual and group classroom activities, and they support sustainable, natural material use in educational settings.
