Plaited wool stings with plastic ball (Poi). Sold as a pair. The poi is practiced by both males and females. Poi encourages the wrists to become supple, increases dexterity in both arms and improves agility. Traditionally, such skills were useful when using all Māori weaponry including the Taiaha. The poi was a common pastime and is actively practiced today, especially in Kapa haka performances. Te Whāriki - Family and dramatic play can support learning across all strands of Te Whāriki. Children’s developing capability to be expressive, is supported in the Communication strand, where they discover and develop different ways to be creative and expressive. It is also supported in the Contribution strand, where children are encouraged to learn equitably alongside each other. 2Pieces Recommended Age 3 years+
