New Zealand Bird Dress Up Wings - Set of 4

Celebrate the beauty of Aotearoa's native wildlife through imaginative play with the New Zealand Bird Dress Up Wings - Set of 4. This stunning collection features four sheer polyester wings inspired by native New Zealand birds-Kākāriki, PÅ«keko, Kahu, and Kōtare. The lightweight wings are designed to attach comfortably to a child's fingers and rest across the back, allowing for easy movement and encouraging dramatic and role play. Each bird wing reflects unique feather patterns and vibrant colours that spark curiosity and connection to New Zealand's natural environment. These dress-ups support children in exploring their identity, learning about native species, and expressing emotions through creative movement. By embodying different birds, children engage in open-ended play that develops communication, confidence, and a deeper appreciation of the cultural and ecological significance of New Zealand's fauna. Whether used in storytelling, themed nature studies, or dramatic role play, this set brings cultural and environmental awareness into everyday learning in a fun and tactile way.
