Hei-Tiki Mueseum Trip

On Tuesday the 26th of June we went to the tea room at the goverment gardens. We learnt lots about tikis and what happened and how they were used in the past before rings. In New Zealand they used Hei Tikis as a sign of marrige and it also blessed them to have a good luck, and able to have many kids. So we had the challenge to make our own tikis out of fabric and buttons. First we all sat at a table and their was a gray tod tray on each table. Their was about 7 pieces of fabric in each tray. Their was a tiki template that we traced around our fabric with a marker pen and then cut it out.
Then we had to sew buttons onto our tiki I chose pink and yellow buttons. Then we made a mouth out of a different colored fabric. It was a little bit hard but I managed to do it I gave it my best go. Our teachers for this was Emma and Christina they were very good helpers to us duriing this task.
