Meet the Little Aussie Adventurers: A Playful Pattern Collection for Kids

Hand-drawn with coloured pencils and full of Aussie spirit

The Little Aussie Adventurers collection is a nostalgic nod to childhoods spent exploring the bush. Designed with little ones in mind, each pattern captures the magic of discovery, from winding bushwalks and animal tracks to sparkling constellations and sketchy treasure maps.

Whether you’re looking to create playful clothing, fun bedding, or wall-worthy wallpaper, this collection is made to inspire big imaginations and little feet.

Bringing Aussie adventures to life

This collection celebrates the kind of adventures you only have as a kid – building cubbies, chasing critters, searching for treasure, or simply lying on your back spotting stars. I drew each pattern with coloured pencils (and a touch of fineliner) to keep them feeling hand-crafted, imperfect, and full of charm.

All the patterns are available in two key colourways – vibrant pinks and lively blues – both bold, playful, and full of personality
