The Matariki Light Table Stars are designed to inspire tamariki to explore the stories of the stars through hands-on, sensory-rich play. Made from durable opal acrylic, each star softly illuminates when placed on a light table, bringing colour, pattern, and meaning to life in a way that captures curiosity and encourages exploration. Through open-ended play, tamariki can learn about the stars of Matariki, share stories, create patterns, and develop an early understanding of te ao Māori in an engaging and age-appropriate way, while also supporting fine motor development, visual perception, language growth, and collaborative play. Perfect for kōhanga reo, early learning environments, classrooms, and home learning, these stars invite tamariki to slow down, wonder, and discover together. Each star measures 100mm in width and 100mm in height, with a thickness of 3mm, and is designed specifically for use on light tables.
