Why teachers and homeschool parents love the Seasonal Maramataka:

The Paitu Seasonal Maramataka is an illustrated, perpetual circular calendar specifically designed for the Southern Hemisphere.

By physically rotating the moving wheels, tamariki visually observe how each Māori day, month, and season seamlessly flows into the next. It creates an ongoing, hands-on connection to the rhythms of nature.
