Indigenous Peg Dolls are my most popular item!
Torres Strait Islander Flag Peg Dolls
These dolls represent our TSI Flag.
The green panels at the top and bottom of the flag represent the land and the central blue panel represents the sea. The black lines dividing the panels represent the Torres Strait Islander people. The centre of the flag shows a white dhari (dancer’s headdress) which represents Torres Strait Islander culture.
Underneath the dhari is a white five-pointed star. The star is an important symbol for navigating the sea. The points of the star represent the five island groups in the Torres Strait and the white symbolises peace.
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 and houses 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
