Noongar Felted Campfire Play Mat

Gather around the fire and let learning unfold.
The Noongar Felted Campfire Play Mat invites children to come together, share stories, and explore the world through imaginative play. Handcrafted from soft, thick wool felt, each mat creates a warm and welcoming space where connection, collaboration, and curiosity can thrive.

Inspired by the Noongar tradition of gathering around the campfire to share stories, songs, and knowledge, this mat provides an authentic way to weave cultural learning into play-based experiences. It encourages sensory exploration, social interaction, and the development of oral language as children engage in storytelling, role play, and group learning.

Made mindfully and respectfully in collaboration with Noongar artists, this piece acknowledges Country, culture, and community — honouring the power of stories to teach and connect us all.
