“My kids were obsessed with the lego bricks but, devastated they didn't have the whole thing - this kit solved that problem! The depth of the kit was excellent, and I always enjoy the integration of te reo Māori that is included in the kit. This kit allowed us to have meaningful conversations about where our food comes from.”
