    Hello, I wondered if this resource was created in consultation with the Aboriginal community? I would like to use it in my classroom so just checking how the resource was created and where the information was sourced from. Thank you!

      Hi Marie, Thank you for your question. I can tell you that the resource was not created in collaboration with a particular First Nations people or community, but at the time the resource was made, Teach Starter was working with Dirrabou Consultancy who ran a full-day workshop with our staff, helping to clarify and increase our own awareness and understanding of how to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into the resources that we make for you. For more details, please visit our blog at https://www.teachstarter.com/au/blog/teach-starter-learns-embedding-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-perspectives/

      dip a toothbrush in paint and flick it with your thumb works well or paint and a little water in a spray bottle?

      Hi Keiron, thank you for contacting us. Blow painting is commonly done using straws with the end dunked into paint, then keeping the paint inside by closing the top end with your finger. Once in position, you blow through it onto the paper.
