Created in collaboration with my cousin, Emma Bamblett, this sensory tray brings her original artwork to life for learning and play 🤎
Emma’s design draws inspiration from Bunjil the Eagle, land, waters, and the sun - elements that reflect connection, guidance, and care for Country. Her artwork has been thoughtfully transformed into a tactile play tray that invites exploration of a significant part of Aboriginal culture.
Possum skins have long held an important place in Aboriginal culture in the south-eastern parts of Australia. Traditionally used to make cloaks for warmth, storytelling, and mapping Country, each skin carried stories and meaning. Babies would be given just a few pelts, with cloaks growing as they grew.
Today, possum skin cloaks are still created, with designs burned or painted onto the skins and stitched together using modern techniques. Continuing cultural practice in contemporary ways.
Designed for use with playdough, dry sensory bases, or small world play, this tray offers a meaningful way to introduce cultural learning through hands-on exploration. Perfect for homes, classrooms, and community spaces, it supports curiosity, conversation, and connection through everyday play.
Made in Australia from eco-friendly, biodegradable materials 🌱
