  • Product Description

      NGĀ PŪRĀKAU O NGĀ ATUA

      Pū Rākau was created to give tamariki a meaningful way to connect with te ao Māori through play, storytelling, and technology.

      Instead of the usual ABCs, these blocks carry the strength of our language, the stories of our Atua and the beauty of Māori design. Each set brings together 12 Māori Atua each represented on a beautifully printed and carved wooden block ready to be held, stacked, and explored.

      FREE PŪ RĀKU AUGMENTED REALITY APP

      Scan the blocks with the free Pū Rākau app and watch the Atua come to life. 

      • See Tāwhirimatea stir the winds

      • Watch the ngahere rise around Tāne 

      • Witness Whiro's darkness spread and lift

      • And more…

      Each Atua is fully animated in AR, has an amazing taonga puoro soundscape and their pūrākau narrated for tamariki to wrap the taringa around. All Atua sets have their individual AR animation but scan selected Atua together to reveal whakapapa connections and deeper pūrākau. Combine Tane and Hine titama to uncover Hine nui te po, See Tūmataunga and Tawhirimatea battle and more.

      This is more than a toy — it’s a new way to experience, share, and pass on the stories of Te Ao Māori.
