Last term we were bringing objects from home to share as part of our inquiry into Kiwiana culture. Aria brought her Buzzy Bee toy. This Buzzy Bee is very special because it belongs to Aria's grandma who has had it since she was a child.
Buzzy Bee is a wooden pull-along toy with rotating wings that make a distinctive 'click-click' noise. It was first made in New Zealand in the 1930's and many Kiwi kids have played with their own Buzzy Bee over the last 80 years. The Buzzy Bee company also made the colourful string doll Mary-Lou.
Thank you Aria for sharing your taonga with us!
Cool Aria how old is it?
