NAIDOC Week & Reconciliation

Celebrate indigenous culture with our NAIDOC Week craft ideas.

National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day Activity Booklet

Kerri-Ann Taggart has created this Activity Booklet to celebrate the strength, pride and potential of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

Children’s Day is for supporting children to grow up safe, strong, connected to culture and proud of who they are, and contributing to a shared commitment to ensure every child is supported to thrive. (SNAICC, 2026)

When planning activities that draw on Indigenous culture, CleverPatch™ encourages you to connect with Aboriginal Communities in your local area. A great first step is to contact your local Aboriginal Land Council. Working together with the appropriate cultural owners helps ensure any creative or art-making experiences are undertaken with respect and care.

Some materials and products may contain terms that reflect authors' views, both current or past. These views may not be considered appropriate today and are provided in a historical context. These views are not necessarily the views of CleverPatch™.

  • Step 1Print out the template provided. We recommend printing onto cover paper as this provides a sturdy base for decorating and folding your activity booklet. Fold the template in half long ways along the grey dotted lines, then fold in half along the shorter end, then fold again until your booklet has been folded into eights.
  • Step 2Completely unfold the template and then fold in half short ways. Cut along the bold black line in the middle of the sheet, making sure to only cut halfway down the piece of paper. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 3Unfold and fold again long ways and hold the paper at each end, then push the ends in towards each other.
  • Step 4Fold the sections to form an eight-page booklet.
  • Step 5Decorate your booklet and complete the activities inside!
