Description

Imagine a classroom centrepiece that sparks wonder, invites conversation, and connects your children to the rich living cultures of Australia's First Peoples — every single day. The Aboriginal Symbols Learning Table is a never-before-seen learning resource hand-crafted right here in Australia, featuring original Aboriginal symbols artwork by celebrated artist Shareen Clayton. Up to 8 children can gather around this beautifully designed table, each choosing their own symbol to sit on — igniting curiosity, identity exploration, and culturally responsive conversations from the very first moment they take a seat. This is more than furniture. It's a provocation, a talking point, and a daily act of Reconciliation living right in your learning space.

Features

01. Never-Before-Seen Design — A True First in Australian Early Childhood Resources
This is the first learning table of its kind in Australia — a completely original concept where children actively engage with authentic Aboriginal symbols art simply by choosing where to sit. There is nothing else like it on the market.
02. Authentic Aboriginal Artwork by Shareen Clayton — Cultural Integrity at the Core
The symbols featured on this table are original artworks created by Aboriginal artist Shareen Clayton, ensuring that the cultural knowledge embedded in your classroom is authentic, respectful, and meaningful — not tokenistic. This is intentional teaching made tangible.
03. Seats 8 Children — Built for Collaborative, Child-Directed Learning
Designed to bring your whole small group together, this table comfortably seats 8 children — making it the perfect provocation for group discussions, story-sharing, and collaborative play that supports the EYLF principle of children as active, capable learners with agency.
04. 18mm Heavy-Duty Eucalyptus Ply — Built Tough, Built Beautiful, Built to Last
We didn't cut corners — because you shouldn't have to, either. Crafted from robust 18mm eucalyptus ply in two stunning finishes (Brown and Golden Pine), this table is engineered for the beautiful chaos of real classroom life. Solid, safe, and stunning enough to be a classroom feature piece.
05. Two Sizes Available — Right for Every Room, Right for Every Child
Whether your mob is made up of toddlers finding their feet or preschoolers brimming with big questions, we have a size for every stage. Choose from our Toddler or Preschooler size to ensure every child sits comfortably, safely, and with confidence — exactly as the NQF envisions for inclusive, child-centred environments.

Handcrafted quality that you can feel

I was blown away when this arrived — the photos do not do it justice. The eucalyptus ply is thick and beautifully finished and the artwork is crisp and vibrant. We use it as our small group table and the symbol-choosing routine has become something the children look forward to every day. It’s the first thing visitors notice when they walk into our room and it always starts a conversation about reconciliation and First Nations culture. Proudly Australian made and it absolutely shows. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

The most meaningful piece of furniture in our centre

We ordered the Preschooler size in Golden Pine and it is absolutely beautiful. Our eight children gather around it every morning and the ritual of choosing their symbol has become a really special part of our day. It’s sparked deep conversations about what each symbol means and we’ve been able to connect it to so many EYLF Outcome 1 and 2 goals. The quality is exceptional — 18mm ply, beautifully finished, not a rough edge in sight. Families stop and admire it every single day. Worth every cent.

Unlike anything we have ever had in our room

The Aboriginal Symbols Learning Table arrived and the children were immediately drawn to it — before we even said a word they were pointing at the symbols and asking questions. The idea of each child choosing their own symbol to sit on has been such a beautiful provocation for conversations about identity and culture. The table is incredibly solid and well-finished, you can tell it has been handcrafted with real care. Shareen Clayton’s artwork is stunning and the children treat the table with such respect. An extraordinary addition to our room.
