Aussie Animals

⚙️ Learning Concepts: Anatomy, Habitat, Life Sciences

Bring Australia’s most iconic animals to life in your classroom through five buildable, laser-cut models: the Kangaroo, Koala, Emu, Kookaburra, and Platypus.
Each kit is made from natural, high-quality plywood and assembles without glue or chemicals—safe, durable, and ideal for repeated classroom use.

Students learn about each animal’s body structure and natural environment by building tactile models that support discussion, observation, and early science inquiry.

📚 Built for Teachers. Aligned to the Curriculum.

Every kit includes an Instruction Booklet and a comprehensive Lesson Plan featuring:

• Curriculum-aligned learning outcomes
  
• Scaffolded activities and hands-on tasks
  
• Assessment ideas and extension opportunities

This turns each model into a structured, outcomes-driven learning sequence, supporting both inquiry-based exploration and guided teaching.
