Oval rug

Lovely rug, nice soft texture, and has already received lots of complements

We absolutely adore this rug, it has such beautiful rich colours and a lovely Indiginous design. It has added to and brightened up our lounge room so much too. I also caught our naughty cat scratching it quite hard but it didnt damage it at all. It also feels lovely and soft and not synthetic at all underfoot. Thankyou so much Education National.

Beautifully made and culturally meaningful

We introduced this rug as part of our NRW celebrations and it's stayed as a permanent fixture ever since. The families in our community have commented on how proud they feel seeing First Nations artwork so prominently displayed and used meaningfully. The rug is thick, well-made and the colours are stunning in person. Absolutely worth every cent.

Children are so drawn to this beautiful rug

From the moment we rolled it out the children were captivated by the artwork. It's become a sacred space in our room where we come together to share stories and listen to each other. The quality is exceptional — we've had it for eight months and it still looks brand new. Thank you Education National for such a thoughtful product.

Yarning Oval Indigenous Rug

Our Pre-kindergartens looooove their new class rug. They have the certificate of authenticity printed and displayed in the room and talk about Kiz and her beautiful artwork. It brightens the space and is the perfect meeting place for indoors.

A must-have for culturally inclusive classrooms

As a director of a long day care centre I'm always looking for resources that authentically represent First Nations culture and this rug delivers. The oval shape works beautifully for group time and the children immediately understood its purpose as a gathering space. It supports our EYLF Outcome 2 goals beautifully. We've already ordered a second one for our toddler room.

Transforms our yarning circle space completely

We purchased the Yarning Oval Rug for our preschool room and it has completely transformed our group time space. The children gravitate to it naturally and it's become the heart of our morning meetings. The quality is outstanding — thick, durable and the colours are vibrant even after months of daily use. Highly recommend to any early childhood centre wanting to embed First Nations perspectives meaningfully.

Perfect centrepiece for our learning environment

This rug is absolutely beautiful and the children love it. We use it every day for yarning circle and it has sparked so many wonderful conversations about Aboriginal culture and connection to country. The stitching is solid and it's held up incredibly well to our busy kindy room. Delivery was fast and the packaging was great too.
