This Australian Aboriginal-themed display and playscape sets out to represent a traditional camp setting, comprising a family, tent (humpy), hunting equipment, fire, and food. This kit contains a representation of a shrubbery humpy (tent) often made from animal skins or shrubs. Hunting is represented with the inclusion of a spear, which in children’s play can become a fishing line, walking stick, or storytelling stick used to draw stories in the sand. Fire is an essential element of every culture, whether for cooking or warmth. Food choices include a bardie grub (witchetty grub) to show the bush tucker food that is eaten. The inclusion of a witchetty grub can extend into conversations about sustainability and food production. This is an extensive education set containing wooden figures, felt products, crochet materials, and marine shell.
Please note: due to the crafted nature of these resources, variations from images and product to product may occur.
