E whā ngā kaupapa tukutuku ki tēnei kahui o Hoani Waititi Marae. This Tukutuku Toi Kit collection has four colour themes to choose from:
💙Te Iti Kahurangi
❤️Te Aroha
💚Kia Ngāwari
💛Ngā Tūmanako

Every Toi Kit includes every pattern. We have chosen a pattern to represent every whare:
💙Niho Taniwha
❤️Pātikitiki
💚Poutama
💛Kaokao

Ko wai tō whare???

Our kura whānau will be assembling every Toi Kit with aroha, allowing us to offer our best prices with this limited-time offer.

If you’re already familiar with our Tukutuku Toi Kits, you’ll notice a brand new pattern has joined the whanau, along with savings of up to 25% off. Now’s the perfect time to stock up and secure your favourites.

If you’re new here, there’s never been a better time to give our Toi Kits a try while supporting our kura at the same time. Ngā mihi ❤️

Kia ora e te whanau, we are running this kaupapa 100% on aroha, so aroha mai the notice is short (12 hours 😆) and our stock levels are even less 😅
This is a fundraiser for our tamariki o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae. We have set up our own Shopify store for our house group Ngā Tūmanako so funds go directly to our kura.

Tēnā tātou katoa, he kaupapa penapena pūtea te haere ake nei mo Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi. Nōkū te maringanui kia tupu mai au ki tēnei marae. Ko Ngā Tūmanako te whare i tāmatahia ngā mahi tukutuku ki te hirikapo, ka mutu e whakatupuria ana e aku tamariki hoki. No reira he mea nui kia tautoko marika i tō tātou kura.
Kia ora e te whānau, I am about to release a special collection of Hoani Waititi Tukutuku Toi Kits to help our kura fundraise for our haerenga to Te Whanau-ā- Apanui. Keep an eye out as stock is limited!
Aku mihi, Awhina

* COMPETITION CLOSED *

Matariki gives us a chance, to stop, to pause, to take a breath. To look back on the year that has been, remember those who are no longer with us, and look toward the year ahead.

We’d like to help you reflect and look forward with a wonderful prize pack including a Whakawhetai journal, a Tukutuku Toi kit, a set of our pins, and our new tote bag!

To enter, just leave a comment on this post and let us know how you’ll be spending Matariki. Maybe you already have plans to gather with whānau, or maybe this post is a good reminder to get everyone together. Good luck. Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki, mānawa maiea te ariki o te rangi, mānawa maiea te mātahi o te tau! 💜

The Tukutuku Toi kit was generously donated by our friends at Whatu Creative and promotes Māori culture by teaching you to weave your story through tukutuku patterns. Create meaningful art while being mindful!

*NZ entrants only. *One prize pack on offer for both Instagram and Facebook. *Competition closes 9am, 13 July 2026. *The winner will be selected at random. *The tote bag and pins are promotional items, and are not for sale. *Tukutuku Toi kit design differs from the one pictured.

Matariki magic ✨

What a wonderful night! Last night we had the pleasure of using Whatu Creative mini Tukutuku panels for a workshop again 🥰. Thank you to everyone who came in and gave it a go. A super big thank you to Tuhoe Bush-Fairy as well for making the night even better. It was great to have you all here.
