Product Detail

Here's Tama the Maori Kapa Haka Soft Toy Doll, twin to Hine the Maori Girl doll.  The Tama doll has a story card, which reads:

Tama loves to partake in kapa haka.  He practices with his pouwhenua often and loves to do a fierce whetero. His favourite part of kapa haka is performing with his whanau and friends.

Tama and his twin sister Hine are brought up by their wider whanau, where they practise the meaning behind the saying:
'Ma te hapu te tamaiti e whakatupu'.
The responsibility of raising a child rests with the wider community. 

Tama has a top knot, piupiu, and mock greenstone necklace around his neck.  His length is is approximately 43cm (17'), and he is a soft fabric toy.

Match him up with Hine, if you want the set.

Perfect for friends and whanau around the world, and anyone wanting to teach their kids about other cultures.
