Our pēpi loved discovering the paua shells filled with water this morning. Using little shells to scoop, tiny sticks to stir, and pumice to soak it all up, their busy hands were hard at work experimenting, pouring, and playing.

✨ One of our favourite things to do with all our shredded paper (after playing with it of course 😉)… we make paper bricks! 🧱

Our tamariki love getting hands-on with the process — mixing, squashing, pressing, and waiting to see how their mahi transforms.

It’s a fun, practical way to explore science, teamwork, and sustainability while caring for Papatūānuku. 🌍💚

An oldie but a goodie!

Tables full of colour, texture, and creativity! This was the aftermath of a busy morning of mixing, pouring, and experimenting.
Messy tables = curious tamariki at work ❤️

Busy Hands!

Our tamariki learn through doing — exploring, creating, cooking, building, and playing…

Every little handprint, every sprinkle of flour, every block stacked high, every spot of paint, is part of their mahi towards discovery.

Busy hands = curious minds.
