NAIDOC Week & Reconciliation

Celebrate indigenous culture with our NAIDOC Week craft ideas.

Indigenous Designed Boomerang Puzzles

These puzzles have been created by Kerri-Ann Taggart (also known as KEZ), an Indigenous digital artist from the Wonnarua area (in the Hunter Valley, NSW). 

Colour in the boomerang puzzle pieces, cut them out and then arrange them to fit in the boomerang template base. You could even use the blank template to create your own puzzle design!

CleverPatch™ recommends educators, teachers and event organisers work in consultation with their local Aboriginal Communities (start locally and extend out geographically) when planning activities & learning experiences. Any creative or art making activity that mirrors or replicates Aboriginal cultural experiences should always be undertaken in consultation with the appropriate owners of that cultural property.

Some materials and products may contain terms that reflect authors' views, both current or past. These views may not be considered appropriate today and are provided in a historical context. These views are not necessarily the views of CleverPatch.

  • Step 1Click the Download Template button and print the puzzle templates onto cover paper or cardboard.
  • Step 2Decorate the templates using coloured pencils or markers. You may like to research traditional colours and techniques for your local area.
  • Step 3Once decorated, use scissors to cut out your puzzle base and puzzle pieces. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4You’re now ready to use your Indigenous Designed Boomerang Puzzles! Why not race your friends or family – who can complete the puzzle the fastest?
