Colour-In Kakahu Cloak Wall Display with 34 Feathers

Create a meaningful classroom display with this collaborative kakahu activity, inspired by the beauty and symbolism of a feather cloak.

Many people are familiar with the word korowai, and this resource also introduces the broader term kakahu, helping students expand their understanding of Māori cloak traditions while creating something special together.

Each student decorates their own feather with patterns, goals, values, or a pepeha, then the class assembles them to form a vibrant shared cloak.

Perfect for Matariki, Treaty learning, identity work, or beginning-of-year classroom connection, this activity encourages reflection, creativity, and kotahitanga — working together as one.

Ideal for teachers and educators as well as parents, they encourage children to learn another language.

Features:

• Measures approximately 50 x 55 cm when assembled (depending on class size and layout)
• Teaching notes included.
• Classroom size: 34 feathers, 2 x decorative strips
• Designed in partnership with teachers
• Made from recycled, acid-free materials.
• Code: 96374
