Set of 10 - Sparkling Eel

Pricing is PER PACK - so 5 sets of 1 pack = 50 Eels

Celebrate Matariki with a creative craft inspired by the waterways and living creatures of Aotearoa!

Our Sparkling Eel is a fun and versatile activity for children to colour, decorate, and make their own. Kids can bring their eel to life using pens, paint, or pencils, then add sparkle and texture with sequin string.

Perfect for Matariki celebrations, this craft connects with Waitī — the star associated with fresh water and the living creatures found in rivers, streams, and lakes.

The eel design makes a meaningful way to explore the importance of freshwater environments while creating something unique and hands-on.

Once decorated, your eel can be used as:

• A unique bookmark
• A hanging decoration
• A storytelling or learning prop
• Part of a Matariki display or activity

A creative craft that encourages imagination, fine motor skills, and connection to nature, storytelling, and Matariki traditions.
