Early Years Starter Bundle

Looking for a simple and meaningful way to begin embedding Aboriginal perspectives into your early years program?

Our Early Years Aboriginal Learning Starter Pack brings together four engaging, easy-to-use resources that encourage yarning, storytelling, sensory play, matching and learning about Country.

Designed with busy educators in mind, this pack provides practical resources that can be incorporated into everyday play and learning experiences — helping Aboriginal perspectives become part of your program throughout the year, rather than something explored only on significant dates.

Children can yarn together using conversation prompts, discover Australian animals and native bush foods through matching games, and create their own stories and landscapes through sensory play.

Why you’ll love it:

• A great starting point for educators wanting to embed Aboriginal perspectives
• Supports yarning, conversation, storytelling and oral language
• Introduces children to Australian animals and native bush foods
• Encourages connection to Country through play and discussion
• Supports memory, matching, observation and turn-taking skills
• Story rollers encourage open-ended sensory play and imaginative storytelling
• Easy to incorporate into existing early years programs and learning experiences
• Ideal for early learning centres, kindergartens, preschools and home learning

What's included:

Animals Snap – Aboriginal Art Edition
A fun matching game featuring Australian animals represented through Aboriginal artwork. Use the cards for Snap, Memory and matching activities while encouraging conversations about Australian animals and Country.

Yarning Cards
Conversation prompts designed to support meaningful yarning with children. Use them during group time, yarning circles or throughout the day to encourage children to listen, share ideas and connect with one another.

Bush Food Snap Cards
A fun Snap and Memory game featuring Australian native bush foods. Children can practise matching and observation skills while being introduced to native plants and foods that have been used and cared for by Aboriginal peoples for generations.

Story Rollers – Set of 2
Bring storytelling into sensory play. Children can roll the designs through playdough to create scenes, patterns and story prompts, encouraging imagination, oral language and open-ended exploration.
