The Hopscotch Rug featuring Aboriginal artwork by John Smith Gumbula brings cultural storytelling and active play together in one beautifully designed resource. This colourful rug showcases traditional designs that reflect Aboriginal art styles, creating a meaningful and engaging play surface for children.

The rug is crafted with a safe, durable design and includes an anti-slip backing, making it suitable for indoor play on a variety of floor types. Its vibrant patterns not only capture children's attention but also provide opportunities to integrate Indigenous perspectives into everyday classroom or home learning environments.
