Featuring four unique designs inspired by animal movement across land and water:

• Goanna Tracks – representing movement, survival, and connection to land
• Kangaroo & Emu Tracks – symbolising direction, balance, and journeys across Country
• Crab Tracks – reflecting coastal environments and life along shorelines
• Turtle Journey – capturing pathways through water and the life cycle of marine animals

 

As children roll through playdough, clay, or sensory materials, they reveal detailed track patterns that naturally lead to storytelling, inquiry, and deeper connection to the natural world.
