What educators are saying about our "Bush Tucker Research Cards":

From Miss Hailey Birchers Early Learning Beaconsfield:

"The Kinders were so excited when our Bush Tucker cards arrived from Koori Curriculum.
After looking at them, they were asked what they would like to do with the cards and immediately the group wanted to draw, write and paint them’.

Using sharpies to draw and write the names of the foods from the cards each Kinder chose, they then used watercolours to paint.

We included their creations into our Bush Tucker book and are now on the search for Bush Tucker ingredients that we can use in actual cooking/baking."
