Aboriginal Peg Dolls are one of my most popular items!
Peg Doll Options: Symbol, Red, Earth, Torres Strait Islander, Blue & more to come. (see shop)
Created with inspiration from my Indigenous dance days, where the girls wore black, red or other coloured dresses and the boys wore the traditional Lap Lap.
Painted up in traditional Ocher; A clay rock made into a paste and painted onto our skin and clothing to be one with the land.
I also offer wholesale if you are looking to stock my items- please message my social media platforms or email barkaarts@hotmail.com
These items are handmade. Paint marking or colours may differ slightly to stock photos.

Are you an Early Childhood Educator? So am I!
All of my dolls fit into the EYLF:
1: Identity- Children develop knowledgeable and confident self identities
2: Connect & Contribute- Multicultural dolls allow children to respond to diversity with respect
3: Wellbeing- Supporting Indigenous children’s social and emotional wellbeing by providing dolls they can personally resonate with
4: Learning- Children are learning about our very important cultural history in a play based, age appropriate learning environment and including Indigenous lives apart of our every day play experiences
5: Communication- A wonderful way to extend on cultural learning, involving children in open discussions and the opportunity to extend children’s learning and thinking with a more wholistic natural approach
