5 Activities to Learn about Australia

In honor of Australia Day this January 26, we are having this week-long Australia Unit at home.  I am sharing our activities which I prepared for both of my boys:  Mavi 7yrs old and Vito 2yrs old.  They are simple and easy to replicate so I hope you take inspiration on any of these!


1. Learning about the flag of Australia

Here we are using a printable that you can get from my shop, Australia Learning Pack: Reading Materials, Activity Pages and Cards.



2.  Design your own boomerang


The boomerang was cut out from a Bookdepository cardboard.  I made lots of these as both of the boys enjoyed designing their boomerangs!


And later on in one corner, he started practising his scissors skills! Yes, he can control the scissors but can’t cut papers yet (only playdough).  By the way, he’s using plastic scissors so you need not worry about it.


3.  Aboriginal Art Coloring


The lizard is just a product of random Google search.  We did a similar artwork years ago.

4.  Make your own Pavlova


This is inspired by Planting Peas’ sushi crafts.  We used cottons for the meringue and fruits toppers from Learning Resources.

5.  Reading and coloring our Australia Activity Book


I've created this Australia Activity Book and Learning Pack.  This booklet is for reading, learning, and coloring (make your own booklet) at the same time.
