        Discover the rich tapestry of Aboriginal culture with our vibrant 'Dreamtime' seating mats in blue. Designed by renowned Australian Aboriginal artist De Greer Yindimincarlie of the Wiradjuri Nation, these educational mats are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide a practical and interactive way to explore Indigenous culture in schools and other educational settings. See how Recycled Mats' Indigenous designs can meet the outcomes of the Educational Curriculum.

        Crafted from recycled car tyres and PET plastics, our Dreamtime mats are soft, yet hardwearing, ensuring longevity and durability. Each mat measures 45 x 70cm and comes in a set of five, adding a striking and colourful touch to any classroom, library, or community centre.

        Each mat showcases a different Aboriginal symbol, both in line form and in colourful artwork, and is accompanied by a detailed description of its meaning and significance. These symbols are carefully selected to introduce children to the rich history and traditions of the Aboriginal people, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indigenous culture.

        These sets are also available in other school house colours; namely Green, Red & Yellow, which are perfect for 'house' activities. Many schools place importance in belonging to a 'house', and proudly display the relevant colours to help children adopt a sense of camaraderie and unity. Inclusion and engagement in a common enterprise can have both academic benefits as well as social-emotional ones. The unique symbol and information depicted on each mat will help children to recognise themselves as an individual, that is also an integral part of a larger group.

        Our Dreamtime mats are an invaluable resource for educators seeking to incorporate Indigenous perspectives into their teaching. Great for reading groups, sporting events or floor-work, they offer a hands-on learning experience that encourages students to engage with Aboriginal culture in a meaningful and interactive way.

        Team these seating mats with an educational bestseller, The Little Black Game Pack, which brings endless hours of fun and entertainment whilst learning to recognise Indigenous symbols and motifs. Want to make your classroom or library reading corner even more colourful and inviting? Check out our range of cushion covers which include many beautiful Indigenous designs.
