Witchetty Grub Outdoor Mat 2.7m

Aboriginal artist Dean Jakamara Briscoe has created this iconic recycled plastic picnic mat. This dot painting is a unique take on one of Australia's most famous bush tucker meals – the Witchetty Grub. Witchetty Grubs are highly prized by Australian Aboriginals as a high-protein, high-energy food source that tastes something like scrambled eggs, but we prefer ours as an illustration on an Aboriginal mat! Perfect for kindergartens, preschools and schools who want to immerse children in the stories and motifs of Indigenous Australia and embed Indigenous Australian culture in their curriculums and programs. This 2.7m diameter mat is a combination of white and burgundy. These mats are reversible. Photos show both sides of the same mat.

Made from Recycled plastic, comes in a recycled and reusable plastic carry bag. Measures 2.7m. Ages 3yrs+.
