The Dhari is customarily made and worn by males.

The design of a Dhari varies from island to island.

2. Choose your coloured chenille stems and glue them onto your design outline. Allow to dry.

Other materials required: sewing needle and pencil

Clever Tip: Insert paper towel into each bag to prevent the paint from seeping through the material onto the other side of the bag.

1. Research and find 5 symbols you would like to base your memory game on. Once you have chosen the symbols you will use, lightly draw them and their meaning onto the front of the Cotton Drawstring Bags using pencil.

2. On the front of each Cotton Drawstring Bag, use the end of a cotton filter dipped in paint to create the symbols using dots.

For a finer dot use the end of a scratch tool to write the meaning.

Allow to dry.

4. Using a Blanket Stitch (https:// www.cleverpatch.com.au/ideas/ details/how-to-sew-a-blanketstitch) sew the top of the bag closed. You are now ready to play!

5. How to play: Place all bags facing image side down. Turn over one bag then try and find the matching symbol by turning over another.

When the same symbol is revealed twice, the 2 bags can be removed.

Use your memory to recall the location of matching symbols to complete the game. You can use a Large Canvas bag decorated with the same symbols to store your pieces in.

3. Remove the cord from the bag and fill it with wadding.

Alternatively you can seal the bag by knotting the cord.

A great resource to use in conjunction with the book ‘Warnayarra the Rainbow Snake’*

* Product code: 17876 – Author Pamela Lofts, 1987. Warnayarra, the rainbow snake. Told by the Senior Boys Class, Lajamanu School. Illus. by students from Lajamanu School. Sydney, AU: Scholastic.

2. Join the ends of a paper strip.

Staple to secure.

3. Loop a second strip through the first link and join its ends.

Staple to secure. You should now have 2 links joined together.

4. Continue this process until you are happy with the length of your chain. Place a straw inside each of the ends of the snake’s body.

Tape to secure.

5. Create a head for your snake.

We used black paper. Cut an oval shape and staple to the first link in your chain.

6. Cut a long skinny tongue.

Attach to your snake’s head using tape. Use a pencil to roll the tongue of your snake.

7. Finally, attach 2 wiggle eyes to your snake’s head using glue. Your snake is now ready for story time!
