Australian Aboriginals have eaten native animal and plant foods for an estimated 60,000 years. Our Bush Tucker range celebrates this cultural knowledge and traditions by allowing Educators to quickly incorporate traditional bush foods into their curriculum. Found in Australia’s arid or semi-arid environments the honey ants are ants that have swollen abdomens full of sweet honeydew. Traditionally gathered by women from nests found under shrubs or trees and collected in coolamons, the honey is sucked from the abdomen taking care not to kill or hurt the ant (whilst not getting bitten) allowing the ants to continue making more honey.

 

This set includes:

• 3 x Honey Ants 4cmL
• 1 x Coolamon measuring 10.5cmL x 9cmW

The Backsaver Cot and Mattress Set in honey elm has been specifically made for you to control the risks that are associated with lifting infants and babies out of cribs and cots. This Backsaver Cot has been designed with a drop side system that drops down substantially lower than other versions of cots. This feature allows carers to effortlessly access children in the cot, without harming their back, for it drops down to a base level of waist height. This cot adds a modern minimalistic style to the sleep room within the centre. The cot has a sliding linen drawer built in underneath that is an excellent and handy storage and space saving idea. Another great asset of this cot is that it can fit through a standard doorway unlike other full-sized cots. If this cot is attached to our Evacuation Trolley (#15630), it becomes easy to transport children safely out of the centre in case of an emergency.

WorkSafe Victoria has identified that educators caring for infants in standard low base cots within commercial environments can endure musculoskeletal injuries and therefore advise the use of high ergonomic base cots such as the Backsaver Cot. Ensure your centre adheres to WorkSafe Victoria cot recommendations with the Backsaver that was designed primarily to care for the back and spinal health of the staff that work in your infant sleep room.

 

• Made of solid pine in honey elm and vinyl easy clean mattress
• Food grade integrated teething rail
• Linen drawer to store your linen
• Space saver size allows you to fit more cots in your centre
• The cot can also fit through standard doorways unlike full-sized cots
• For evacuation purposes, we recommend the Heavy Duty Evacuation Trolley (#15630).
