“My class absolutely loved working with the bricks farm, creating all the vehicles, animals, fruit and vegetables, and farm sheds. Using these has developed the children's communication skills and their oral language tremendously. Having the Maori translations for the different things in the kit was awesome as we integrate Te Reo into our daily programs. The spot-it game was very well received by all the children.”

“The bricks farm was a big hit in our class. A number of children were unable to collect these at their homes so it meant they did not miss out. It was fabulous to get a full set, providing lots of great opportunities for children to create alongside their peers.”
