✨MATARIKI ACTIVITY TO TRY ✨​​​​​​​​
RARANGA IKA - If you've tried weaving activities before in your classroom, why not try out a more difficult type of weave - get tamariki to weave a fish out of flax or paper! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Extra ideas for the children to try might be drawing on the paper, painting their weaving patterns, or adding extra collage materials. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Add the creations to your Matariki Wall Displays! (make sure to enter our competition to win big).​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Instantly download our weaving activity for more ideas and the raranga ika pattern 👉 www.teachertalk.org.nz​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
*Remember your tikanga when using harakeke!
