Bring movement, storytelling, and cultural learning together with the My Turtle Dreaming Mat & Stepping Stones set. This beautifully designed classroom resource features the stunning Aboriginal artwork My Turtle Dreaming by Dharug artist Leanne Watson. The large 200cm x 150cm floor mat is printed on soft polyester with a non-slip rubber backing for safe indoor use. The accompanying 11 stepping stones are also adorned with turtle designs taken directly from the artwork, creating an immersive cultural learning experience. Each turtle stepping stone varies in size and shape, encouraging sorting, matching, and positional language skills. This interactive set, developed in partnership with Muru Mittigar—a Dharug organisation dedicated to advancing Aboriginal culture—provides a meaningful way to incorporate First Nations perspectives into movement, play and learning. The kit supports sensory integration, physical coordination, and cultural understanding while encouraging children to respect and value the traditions of Australia’s First Peoples. Whether used in active games, group activities or storytelling, this resource is a versatile and engaging addition to any early learning space. Contents include the My Turtle Dreaming Floor Mat and matching stepping stones (SPP340); please note that contents may vary slightly.
