The orange and black Yarning Circle Mat is one of our best sellers!
Australian Aboriginal artist De Greer Yindimincarlie, of the Wiradjuri Nation in central New South Wales, designed this recycled, reversible floor mat.
Take a close look at it. You'll see a variety of different Aboriginal symbols including men, women, and children. Look closely to spot emu or kangaroo tracks, digging tools, boomerangs and coolamons. This is the ideal way to introduce children to the world of Aboriginal Art and storytelling and embed Aboriginal culture into the classroom through symbolism.
De Greer Yindimincarlie describes her design: "I draw my men sitting towards the fire as they sit with their legs outstretched towards the campfire, and I draw my women facing away from the fire, as they sit with their legs tucked under their bottoms, hence the facing way… I draw them like that because that's the way I was taught the symbols, and the way I have always drawn and taught the symbols to others."
These large outdoor mats are perfect for schools and early learning environments. Use them indoors for storytelling, art and craft adventures, and as a game or transition mat. Outdoors, the kids can enjoy picnics and outdoor lessons on these mats too.
We suggest using them in tandem with resources such as the Little Black Game Pack (another of De's fabulous creations) to dig deep into Aboriginal learning experiences and extend the children's learning and development of language and symbols.
The large size Yarning Circle recycled plastic mat is durable, easy to clean, soft and comfortable to sit on or walk on. Use it with small and large groups, including family gatherings and Scout camping trips.
We are proud that all our Aboriginal Design Recycled Mats have been created in consultation with Aboriginal artists and their communities. The Aboriginal designs on these mats have been given the green light by the traditional people of the land, to share with the wider community.
The black and orange Yarning Circle Aboriginal mat can be enjoyed wherever you need a fabulous sustainable floor covering - at the beach, in the park, in the garden, in outdoor living spaces and indoors.
What can I do with my mat when it reaches the end of its lifespan? Our exciting news is a must-read.
