Torres Strait Island Material - Trestle Table Cloths

Torres Strait Island Connections Tablecloths

Bring colour, connection and conversation to your learning environment with our beautiful Torres Strait Island Connections Tablecloths.

At Connecting the Dots through Play, we use vibrant tropical prints like this as a visual way to support educators to explore and embed Torres Strait Islander perspectives within their environments.

Use your tablecloths to create an inviting space for books, resources, artefacts and learning experiences that encourage children to wonder and ask questions about the Torres Strait Islands, the people, cultures, languages and connections to land, sea and sky.

Lovingly made in collaboration with Sue from Ingham Sewing Centre, these tablecloths are locally sewn especially for Connecting the Dots through Play. We love being able to support another small local business while creating practical resources for educators. 

A little invitation to educators:
What conversations could begin around your table?

This fabric is used as a visual prompt and is not presented as a traditional Torres Strait Islander artwork or design. We encourage educators to build upon the curiosity it creates with authentic Torres Strait Islander voices, stories, resources and community connections.
