Our tracking stamp set allows educators to celebrate the unique history of our Australian native animals and the tracking skills of Australia's Aboriginal people. Hand crafted from wood this set of 5 tracking stamps can be used in a variety of ways to celebrate and teach the rich history of tracking in Australia.

These stamps are perfect as conversation starters and to connect children to country by intentionally teaching them about our First Nations People. Barna Bidi 'Animal Tracks' - Embedding Aboriginal Perspectives Ideas - As an introduction to a stamping activity, try making your own discovery bidi track by stamping each Barna Bidi into clay/damp sand/play doh and sit them out as clues for Barna (plush/replicas) hiding - see if Koolangka can remember which Barna left that Bidi - Can you remember the Barna name in Noongar? it could lead up to The have the final location set up as a clay/sand tray or paint stamping station with a clue of Koolangka's footprints - lets talk about and learn how we leave Bidi 'tracks' too in wet ground - As a group investigate, discover and discuss with Koolangka how different size people leave sized bidi. Discuss how this would be the same as different sized Barna bidi (baby animals and adult) - Investigate, discover and discuss - how movement effects how tracks turn out: - Let's test if we run vs walk how do our tracks look - lets tie a tail onto us - long enough to drag on the ground - now Koolangka test walking vs running vs jumping - what does our Bidi look like -Koolangka could create some deadly cooked imprints - Salt dough / Oven Clay / Biscuits Dough or Pastry - Collect and Stamp onto leaves/ bark with your Koolangka and create decorative natural displays of artwork or create a leaf & bark stamped frame in your window or board for displaying information for parents.
