He Wātaka
By Māia’s Playhouse
Bring structure, calm, and connection to your family’s daily rhythm. Designed to foster everyday bravery, He Wātaka is a premium, bicultural visual routine tool created specifically for little hands navigating big transitions.
A fantastic addition to any home, preschool, kindergarten, or junior classroom. Built to keep up with busy tamariki, these durable magnetic tiles are perfect for morning circle time, daily visual timetables, or group play on the mat. At home, the tiles can support routines by placing a simple sequence on the board (e.g. Brush teeth – Get dressed – Breakfast). This gives tamariki clear visual steps to follow independently, reducing stress for the whole whānau.
The set also includes a dedicated “First / Then” tile, a structure frequently introduced by Speech and Language Therapists to make expectations clear and manageable (e.g. “First: Numbers – Then: Play“). Each set’s packaging features a printed QR code. When scanned by teachers, therapists, or parents, it directs them straight to an online guide filled with practical ideas, routine examples, and strategies for getting the most out of the resource across both classroom and home settings.
