Craft & Display booklet inspired by ‘Peculiar Parents’ | Book Week 2026

Celebrate Australia’s wonderfully weird and caring animal families with this hands-on craft and display booklet inspired by Peculiar Parents by Stephanie Owen Reeder, illustrated by Ingrid Bartkowiak.

Perfect for Book Week, an Australian animals unit or a science-themed classroom display, this resource invites students to explore animal parents and babies through colouring, cutting, crafting and imaginative play.

This booklet includes:

2 Australian animal colouring pages
Parent and Baby Animal Gallery craft
Cuttlefish Colour-Changing Spinner
Burrow Surprise Poster with lift-the-flap feature
Australian animal-themed bookmarks
Colouring display font to create a Book Week classroom display

Students will love creating their own animal family portraits, discovering who might be hiding inside a burrow and bringing an underwater cuttlefish to life with a moving colour-changing spinner.

A fun, low-prep way to combine literacy, visual arts and learning about Australian animals.
