Encourage reflection, respect, and meaningful conversation with the Yarning/Message Stick. This beautifully hand-painted artefact is an engaging resource for classrooms and yarning circles, helping children understand the importance of listening and taking turns — a central value within Aboriginal culture.

Traditionally, message sticks were used as a form of communication between Nations and communities. In modern learning environments, they serve as a tangible reminder of respectful dialogue and shared connection.

Each stick is painted with authentic Aboriginal art, carrying cultural symbolism that reflects connection to Country, community, and story. The accompanying Artefact Information and Display Card provides cultural context, while the EYLF-linked Extension Learning Suggestions support educators in embedding Aboriginal perspectives across daily practice.

Perfect for use in your daily yarning circles, group discussions, or as a displayed cultural learning piece within your service or classroom.

Includes:
• 1x Message/Yarning Stick painted with authentic Aboriginal Art
• 1x A4 Artefact Information and Display Card
• 5x EYLF-linked Extension Learning Suggestions

Please note:
Each Yarning Stick is hand-painted, and designs will vary in colour and pattern, making every piece unique and culturally authentic.
