A set of 2 Aboriginal art printed dress ups that have been designed specifically for our 38cm high dolls (sold separately). Please note that these dress up clothes are not suitable for the soft bodied 38cm dolls. The outfits are made from 100% cotton. The fabric features an authentic Aboriginal print and each set comes with information on the fabric design. This set of outfits includes a jumpsuit and a dress.
The fabrics may vary from those illustrated. Both of these Aboriginal doll clothes have been designed in Australia by an Aboriginal designer.We recommend to hand wash these doll dress us costumes.

A percentage of the sales of these clothes will go to Balaangala Community Group Inc. This is a reconciliation group based in Brisbane that brings together non-Indigenous and Indigenous people and advocates for Indigenous rights. The cultural information about the fabric design will also help to encourage discussion and understanding of Aboriginal and Indigenous culture. This set of Aboriginal doll clothes has been designed and made in Australia.This resource helps children to understand the people and the world around them.
Our range of global and multicultural resources help to support children’s learning about their communities, as well as the world in general. These resources aid in the promotion of understanding and acceptance of different cultures, beliefs, languages, families, appearances and lifestyles. As children gain an understanding of their community, they also gain an understanding of themselves. This develops confidence and a sense of identity. Incorporating multicultural resources into play is a great way to introduce these concepts in fun and unobtrusive ways. Play is an important part of early childhood. Play encourages children to learn, develop and grow whilst they have fun. Through play, children can develop important cognitive and physical skills. Play encourages creativity, imagination, perseverance and the development of language and social skills. We love creating products that allow Indigenous communities and artists to communicate their culture through their art and in turn allowing children to develop awareness and understanding of the significance of cultural heritage in their world.
If you are an Indigenous artist and would like to work with MTA to also develop culturally sensitive and appropriate education resources, please contact info@teaching.com.au.
