Edible seeds
🐝 AGES 3+ ⌛ 1 HR 🌤 ALL YEAR
A fun-filled journey inside the wonderful world of seeds.
🐝 AGES 3+ ⌛ 1 HR 🌤 ALL YEAR
From the moment they’re formed, to the moment they spring to life with their first sip of water, we take the kids on a fun-filled journey inside the wonderful world of seeds.
INCURSION OUTLINE
First we explore what a seed is and where it comes from.
We then introduce ourselves to a range of seeds through touch, taste and smell.
Next we imagine becoming a seed. The kids love it when we ‘wake up’ the seeds with a light spray of water to allow them to ‘bloom’.
We then make our own potting mix using homemade worm-filled compost.
Next, we collect the worms so they can go home to their farms and friends.
From here, we place our edible seeds into biodegradable pots that can be replanted into the kids’ garden at home.
Next we’ll build our own seed balls that can be thrown, then grown at home.
Decorate paper bags to carry all our goodies home

First Nations Knowledge: Living and Learning
🐝 AGES 3+ ⌛ 1 HR 🌤 ALL YEAR
We sample some yummy native foods, then build our own bush tucker goodies to take home.
🐝 AGES 3+ ⌛ 1 HR 🌤 ALL YEAR
We explore Dreaming stories, local plants and animals, and get hands-on with ochre, boomerangs and traditional tools.
INCURSION OUTLINE
We start by sharing a Dreaming story and show how they help explain the creation of landscapes, beliefs, laws and moral codes.
Next, we look at what plants and animals lived in your area and discover how First Nations people might’ve used them.
Through role play and movement, we invite kids to imagine life as their favourite native animal; an emu, blue-tongue lizard, or kangaroo, and discover why they have evolved the way they have.
From here, we look at what tools were used for hunting, cooking and ceremony.
Next we’ll see how ochre is used and learn the meanings behind native symbols.
If you have an area that can incorporate a bush tucker garden, we can also add in a planting session. We supply all the materials for this incursion. For prices and availability, please send us an email.
