Leafy Sea Dragon - Large

This soft, child-friendly leafy sea dragon plush toy is a unique educational resource for early childhood centres. Designed to reflect the real Phycodurus eques, South Australia's marine emblem, the toy features distinctive leafy appendages, a gentle snout, and textured fabric that mimics the sea dragon’s natural camouflage.

The leafy sea dragon is native to the cold, temperate waters of South Australia and holds ecological and cultural significance. For the Kaurna people—the Traditional Custodians of the Adelaide Plains and surrounding coastal waters—marine animals like the leafy sea dragon form part of a deep spiritual and cultural relationship with Sea Country. While specific Dreaming stories relating to the leafy sea dragon may not be publicly documented, coastal and marine life play a vital role in Kaurna seasonal knowledge, totems, and care for Country.

Note: Educators are encouraged to seek guidance from local Aboriginal communities, such as Kaurna Elders and cultural educators, when incorporating First Nations knowledge and language into their programs, to ensure respectful and accurate representation.
