Maui me te Rā
Maui is sad, confused and annoyed because the day was going fast . He then found out that it was the sun so he decided to catch the sun before it rises and teach it to travel slowly across the sky!" The next day Māui and his whānau collected a huge amount of flax. Māui then taught them how to make flax ropes, they made square shaped ropes, tuamaka, flat ropes, paharahara, and twisted the flax to make round ropes. When the ropes were completed and ready for use Māui and his brothers travelled towards the east to where the sun first rises. They waited for the sun to come out of its hole, once the sun came out they threw the ropes on it. Maui told the sun "From now on you will travel slowly across the sky, never again will the length of our day be dictated by you”. He had succeeded in taming the sun. From that day until this, Tamanuiterā has always travelled slowly across the sky.

Paper Xylophone
I'm going to show you how to make a Paper Xylophone by using any type of paper tube like foil tubes, cling wrap tubes, toilet paper tubes or paper towel tubes.
Step 1: Tools & Supplies
Cardboard tubes (paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, wrapping paper rolls) / Rubber bands / Yarn, ribbon, or embroidery floss
Step 1: Cut your tubes so that you have 5 different lengths
Step 2: Start with your two smallest tubes and use a rubber band to fasten them together.
Step 3: Put the rubber band around one tube, twist it (so it makes a figure 8) and put the other loop around the next tube. Hold them in place and put another rubber band around the two tubes the same way.
Step 4: Then, add the next biggest tube using the same method with the rubber bands. Keep going until you’ve added all of your tubes.
Step 5: Next, use your yarn, ribbon, or embroidery floss to weave in and out of your xylophone tubes for decoration.
