2025 Art Project – Queensland Child Protection Week

Queensland Child Protection Week shares the important message that “Protecting Children is Everybody’s Business".

Each year, artists design a special craft project to celebrate this message. This year, the project is inspired by the Lotus Flower.

The Lotus Flower is often thought to be a symbol of life’s ebbs and flows. The flower's ability to rise from murky waters into something beautiful makes it a powerful symbol of hope and perseverance. This incredible process is a reminder that as a community we must together support the safety and protection of children to ensure they reach their full potential.

Protecting children is a collective endeavour, so we invite community groups and organisations, schools, early childcare centres, families and carers at home to make and decorate their own Lotus Flower in the lead up to Queensland Child Protection Week.

Queensland Child Protection Week runs from Sunday, 7 September – Saturday, 13 September 2025.

The Queensland Child Projection Week Art Project is proudly facilitated by communify

Everything you need to run your own workshop is here to follow at home or in a group.

You can download and print the template, gather up a few easy to find materials and follow our video OR order a Lotus Flower making kit and we’ll send you everything you need to run your own workshop.

Each kit will have templates for 30 Lotus Flowers, and most of the materials (excluding colouring in pens/pencils, scissors and glue/sticky tape) be posted to you.
