Such a beautiful rug

Such a beautiful rug. It brings a lot of conversation around all the symbols and is great for group time.

Beautiful Round Mat

I was skeptical with this rug being so thin but once it got rolled out on to the floor it sat so flat and well. It looks heavy and corners shouldn't turn up. Lovely colours and getting lots of remarks from children and families.

Beautiful resource that keeps giving

This rug has been one of the best purchases we've made for our centre. It sits at the heart of our room and is used for group time, story time and quiet reflection. The children have developed a deep connection to it and often choose to sit on it independently during free play. Outstanding quality.

Whole school loves our yarning circle

We purchased this for our library space and it's become the favourite spot in the school. Every class wants to book in for story time on the yarning circle rug. The artwork is stunning and teachers have used it as a springboard for so many curriculum conversations. Absolutely worth the investment.

Supports EYLF outcomes beautifully

As an early childhood teacher I'm always looking for ways to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives meaningfully and this rug does exactly that. It's become the anchor of our learning environment and the children treat it with real respect. The quality is superb — no fraying or fading after six months of constant use.

Perfect size for our kindergarten room

This rug fits our space perfectly and the children absolutely love it. We've used it to introduce the concept of yarning circles and it's opened up rich discussions about Aboriginal traditions and ways of being. The colours are warm and inviting and it's extremely well made. Delivery was prompt and well packaged.

Our group time is completely transformed

We've been using the Yarning Circle Rug for group time every single day and it's been a game changer for our classroom culture. The children understand that when we sit on the circle, we listen and respect each other — it's created such a beautiful sense of community. The quality is excellent and the design is gorgeous.
