Kids, Kites and Colour - free kids event
A free summer pop-up event happening in a park near you on January 14.
BYO picnic and come and create with us in the park! We’ll be making our own kites, connecting with kids from all over the world, and having a great day out. Drop in anytime between 10am-1pm and be part of the event.
Creative Connection with Colour Our Story
Be part of a project to connect kids in communities all over the world through art. Create your own messages and drawings in colouring books (designed by kids from all over the world) that will be sent to kids in Haiti, Uganda, and Sierra Leone. They’ll find your message when they get their books! We’ll also be colouring and decorating the box that will be sent to the community.
For an optional $10 you can sponsor a book to be part of the project, and you’ll also receive your own book, so your kids can see life through the eyes of another child.
Make a Kite with Marshmallow and Mint
Colour, make and fly your own simple kite. It’s impossible to be unhappy flying a kite, and anyone can make one! All materials and instructions provided, imagination and experimentation highly encouraged.
Marshmallow and Mint deliver themed NZ made boxes of inspirational and creative activities that make the holidays easy and fun! Boxes will be available to view and order during the event.
Kids, Kites, and Colour is a creative collaboration from Colour Our Story and Marshmallow and Mint.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
