Aboriginal Symbols Starter Bundle

Introduce children to Aboriginal symbols and storytelling with our Aboriginal Symbols Starter Bundle, a simple, hands-on combination of resources designed to encourage conversation, creativity and story-making in early learning environments.

Featuring our Aboriginal Storytelling Cubes and Aboriginal Symbol Cards, this pack gives educators a practical starting point for exploring how symbols can be used to represent people, places, animals, Country and experiences.

Children can explore the symbols on the cards, use them as prompts for discussion and then roll the storytelling cubes to inspire their own stories. Together, the resources encourage children to observe, talk, imagine and create while developing an understanding that symbols can communicate meaning and help tell stories.
