Also included is a fun flip book. All pages in this are blank for children to complete as they wish.

You could also include each of the state’s and territories as well as their individual state flags, animal and flowers. Food in Australia is so multi cultural it would be better talking about Bush Tucker which is more aligned with Aboriginal culture and is now becoming more popular in the mainstream. Useless fact Australia is the only country that eats the animals on it’s national crest.

Absolutely. This lapbook is more of an overview of Australia. I am updating my Australian Animals Lapbook, Australian States and Emblems Lapbook and Australian Aborigines Lapbook which would all go well with combined with this one.
