Cardboard Roll Friends

Have fun making and creating some little friends from cardboard rolls. If you haven’t got any cardboard rolls around, just make your own by rolling a piece of cardboard into a cylinder shape and sticking it together.

Decorate the cardboard rolls with any craft items you have available (feathers, patty pans, felt, material scraps, pipe cleaners). You can also use coloured paper and cut out shapes from it to make wings etc.

We have made a butterfly, owl, bird and cat to give you some ideas. What other animals can you create?

When you have finished you may like to make up a story using your little friends as the main characters or, give one to each family member and have fun creating a story together. After, you can find somewhere to display your little friends.

Acknowledgement of country.

We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Elders, past, present and future for they  old the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 

We also pay respect to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people from other areas of South Australia and Australia and acknowledge their deep feelings of attachment and Spiritual relationship to Country. 

Playgroup SA recognises the pain and suffering caused by past policies to Aboriginal Australians and the impact this has had on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today. 

At Playgroup SA we are committed to a future of reconciliation, we believe that there is much knowledge and wisdom to be gained by Aboriginal Australians, by the learning of Country, land, cultures, truths and realities.
