Some moments in life are simply priceless!

Do you have a special idea you’d love to bring to life with our personalised peg dolls?

Perhaps it’s recreating a memorable photograph, a special family gathering, a class reunion, a wedding, a sporting moment, or a precious memory from years gone by.

Photographs capture a moment in time, but imagine having beautifully hand-painted dolls representing each person in that special moment — something you can hold, display, treasure, and pass down through generations.

A photo is a beautiful memory, but personalised peg dolls bring that memory to life!

The possibilities are endless, and the memories are priceless.

Just imagine… tell us your idea, and let’s create something truly special together!

At It Takes a Village,

we specialize in hand painted/crafted

Multicultural Resources, meticulously crafted to ignite

curiosity and foster cultural pride.

Pulusea Seumanu, a kindergarten head teacher with over 27 years of teaching in South Auckland alongside his brother Afa, a seasoned signwriter, recognized the need for Māori and Polynesian resources in early childhood education.

Pulusea says, "He wanted something that our tamariki can hold and say, that's my Dad, Mum, my brothers and sisters!

He wanted a beautifully hand painted resources that we can identify and be familiar with like patterns, colours, materials and accessories from our cultures."

Drawing from their Samoan and Chinese heritage,

they set out to create something truly special.

We started with our Māori and Polynesian cultures and

now have progressed into more cultures that

represent our communities in Aotearoa.

Is your cultured represented in our resources?
