Love NZ kaleidocycle
Ever heard of a kaleidocycle? Print off the A3 instruction sheet to make one for yourself, featuring some of New Zealand's most loved native creatures.
To make it, you'll need glue, string, enthusiasm and nimble fingers. It is a bit tricky with lots of folding and careful sticking, so is best suited for intermediate-aged children and older.
