We apologise if you missed out on ordering bags, but please join the mailing list on our homepage if you want to receive regular updates about Children's Day each year.

Updated 21 July 2021

The Children’s Day bag, including resources and activities for pre-school age children, has a drawing called Taungurung Bubup by Annette Sax. It is of a baby wrapped in a possum skin cloak in a coolamon – a traditional carrying vessel. A coolamon is shaped like a canoe as the baby is carried on its journey of life. Traditionally coolamons were used to cradle babies, carry water, fruits or nuts, to separate grains, and protect from the rain.

In addition to items supplied in these bags, you can also find more fun Activities online. All Children's Day resources can be accessed on the website.

Included in the Children's Day bags is this fabulous book:
 
Can You Dance?
– written by Sally Morgan, illustrated by Kathy Arbon
 
Kindly donated by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF), Can You Dance? is written by one of Australia’s best-loved authors, Sally Morgan.
 
It will get toddlers and preschoolers up off their feet following the actions of the animals featured in the book. They’ll soon be flapping their arms like a scary magpie’s wings, stomping their feet like a cheeky wombat and dancing like a silly lizard, along with the actions of five other animals.
 
Show us your local cultural dance! Share it with us on @SNAICC Facebook, Twitter or Instagram on 4 August – or send in a video for us to share to media@snaicc.org.au
