Children's Day bags

We will soon be producing a brand-new Children's Day 2021 bag.

Please sign up to our mailing list on our homepage to keep up-to-date with Children’s Day celebrations and plans for 4 August 2021.

In addition to items supplied in these bags, you can also find more fun Activities online.

All Children's Day resources can be accessed on the website. We'd prefer that families and communities purchase products from SNAICC rather than external organisations marketing Children's Day material that is not sanctioned by SNAICC, to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities benefit.

The reusable Children’s Day 2020 bag contained:

four fun tattoos celebrating Children’s Day
an activity sheet
cardboard animals
crayons
Indigenous seeds
No Way Yirrikipayi! book, kindly donated by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF).

The book is the story of a hungry crocodile that goes searching for food on Melville Island. Along the way he encounters both land and sea animals. Written in both Tiwi and English, this delightful, humorous book is beautifully illustrated and will appeal to all ages. It was written and developed in workshops with children lead by Alison Lester, ILF Ambassador and the former Children's Laureate.

This year, we want to make sure our Children's Day bag and items are fun and sustainable. That is why we are including these cardboard animals. Children can enjoy putting together a kangaroo, goanna and dolphin.
