Australian Aboriginals used sticks, Echidna quills, or spikes to paint traditional "dreamtime stories". Their paintings depicted stories from their lives. They usually used traditional symbols in their paintings such as: fish, turtles, crocodiles, snakes, kangaroos and other animals. They also painted pictures of weapons, boomerangs, and other tools they used.
Make your own dot art pictures - Study Aboriginal art and then make your own dot painting by dipping a stick, handle end of a paint brush, or your finger into tempera paint and place dots on your paper to make designs.

Aboriginal's used common objects such as stencils in their rock art. They used boomerangs, their own hands or other's hands, feet, tools, spears, etc.
Make your own stenciled pictures - Add food coloring to small spray bottles filled with water. (Wear old clothes because food coloring stains.) Place your hand on a sheet of construction paper, trace around it with a pencil and then cut it out. This is your stencil. Place the "stencil" on another sheet of paper. Use the spray bottle to spray painting around the handprint. When you lift the handprint stencil the hand shape will stand out.
You can find out more information about stenciling at Aboriginal Art Online.
