Dive into a rich cultural crafting experience with our Cradleboard Crafting Kit. This comprehensive set includes everything needed to create a traditional cradleboard, such as leather laces, an orange cloth body wrap, a receiving blanket, orange and white beads, feathers, and decorative stickers, alongside a specially designed ECM card. The kit facilitates a hands-on project that not only brings creativity to life but also serves as an educational tool, covering curriculum outcomes in Indigenous engineering, biological materials, history, geography, art and craft, folklore, mathematics, physics, social studies, language, and child care.
By assembling the cradleboard, crafters will engage in a meaningful exploration of Indigenous culture, learning traditional techniques and the significance behind each material used. This project is perfect for classrooms, cultural education programs, or individual learning, offering an enriching experience that combines practical skills with deep cultural understanding. The inclusion of decorative elements allows for personalization, making each cradleboard a unique reflection of its creator's journey through Indigenous craftsmanship.
