Materials make 1 Rain Stick. Measures approximately 30 x 4cm when assembled. Scissors are required to complete this activity (sold separately). Decorating materials (such as pencils or markers – sold separately) can be used to add colour to the template before assembly.

Though the history of the rain stick is unclear, a common belief is that they originated from South America. This activity is great for accompanying stories such as 'Big Rain Coming' by Katrina Germein, illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft and published by Penguin Australia or the tale of Tiddalik the Frog from Indigenous Dreamtime Stories.

Indigenous Artist Kerri-Ann Taggart explains the story behind her template design:
"Bird people - dancing. As you move the rainstick the figures move along with the sound and motion of the stick. Like a Brolga dancing, wings out."

Our CleverKits are perfect for small and large groups alike as each kit is sold and packaged individually - simply distribute the CleverKits and you're ready to start creating!

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.
