Introducing the vibrant and culturally rich "Dreamtime Possum" mat, a stunning creation by the renowned Australian Aboriginal artist De Greer Yindimincarlie from the Wiradjuri Nation. Designed to immerse users in the intricate tapestry of Aboriginal culture, this mat is more than just a decorative piece – it's a gateway to exploration and understanding.
Ideal for a myriad of uses, from a child's seating mat to a practical door mat for the home or classroom, the Dreamtime Possum mat captivates with its striking blue hue and intricate artwork. Featuring the symbolic representation of the Possum, both in line form and colorful artwork, it also comes with a detailed description of its meaning and significance, making it a valuable educational tool for introducing children to the rich history and traditions of the Aboriginal people. See how Recycled Mats' Indigenous designs can meet the outcomes of the Educational Curriculum.
Crafted with care from recycled car tires and PET plastics, this doormat or individual seating mat combines softness with durability, ensuring longevity and resilience against everyday wear and tear. Measuring 45 x 70cm, it adds a vibrant touch to any space, whether it's a classroom, library, community centre, or home.
Not just visually appealing, these mats are also highly practical. Acting as entrance mats, they help collect water and mud, keeping your interiors clean and reducing the risk of slips and falls. Perfect for outdoor caravan setups as well, they are 6mm thick and treated with Stain Guard for added protection against weather and spills.
Cleaning is a breeze – simply wipe away dirt with a clean sponge or cloth, or give the mat a vigorous shake. Rest assured, our mats are environmentally sustainable, with both the materials used and printing methods being non-toxic and eco-friendly. Proudly Australian-made, they embody our commitment to supporting local craftsmanship and sustainability.
More than just practical accessories – they're invaluable educational resources, especially for educators seeking to incorporate Indigenous perspectives into their teaching. Perfect for reading groups, sporting events, or floor-work, our seating mats offer a hands-on learning experience that encourages students to engage with Aboriginal culture in a meaningful and interactive way.
