The Kindy's Courtney Spiller said they had had a parent of theirs do a collaboration with a shoe company and the kindy has gotten donations to spend on resources for the children.
That parent is artist Glenda Mcculloch and her and her sisters are behind Cungelella Art in Mount Isa.
They did a collaboration with Twoob shoes doing indigenous artwork for the shoes.
The collection features three lycra sandals made from vegan and recycled materials, fusing Glenda's beautiful Indigenous art with two Twoobs silhouettes.
More importantly for Injilinji the kindergarten has received $5 from every pair of shoes sold.
"The kindy purchased a amazing helicopter seesaw for the children with more resources to come," Ms Spiller said.
"We also purchased a sign to say thank you to the ladies for their kindness which we are going to hang at the kindy."
