A simple way to build independence, create calmer routines, and bring more te reo Māori into everyday life.

The Paki Routine Board is a beautiful wooden routine system designed to help tamariki understand what comes next, take responsibility for everyday tasks, and build independence, while giving whānau an easy, practical way to use te reo Māori at home.

Designed for everyday whānau life, the Paki Board can help make mornings smoother, evenings calmer and routines more consistent.

Beautiful enough to leave out and fun enough to use.

We wanted to create a routine board that didn't feel like another piece of clutter.

The Paki Board is made from beautiful pine and designed to fit naturally into your home. It’s something you'd be proud to leave out on the bench, rather than tuck away in the toy bin.

And it's not just beautiful to look at. It's designed to make completing routines feel satisfying, too.

As your tamaiti completes each task, they simply flip the lid down with a satisfying little paki (clap) to reveal the beautiful star on top.

The task disappears, and the little win is revealed.

Instead of a whiteboard covered in ticks, scribbles and yesterday's unfinished jobs, the Paki Board keeps things simple by making the old tasks disappear and leaving only what's still to do.

Less visual clutter and less information competing for your child's attention, making for easier daily

Perfect for:

✔ Building independence
✔ Encouraging responsibility
✔ Creating calmer morning and evening routines
✔ Helping tamariki know what comes next
✔ Supporting consistent routines
✔ Practising everyday te reo Māori together
✔ Have a little more fun while getting things done
✔ Giving whānau more opportunities for quality time together


More than just a routine board

Every Paki Board comes with online access to our te reo Māori resource hub, including:

🌟 Everyday reo Māori vocabulary you can use with your tamariki
🌟 Practical sentences to use alongside each task
🌟 Video and audio references for practical pronunciation support
🌟 Waiata (songs) and karakia (prayers) to use alongside applicable tasks
🌟 Instructions for getting started
🌟 Tips and ideas for implementing your Paki Board at home

So instead of simply learning that ‘niho’ means teeth, you'll have practical reo Māori sentences and waiata that you can actually use while brushing your tamaiti’s niho.

The goal is more reo Māori, more often, and in the everyday moments that already happen at home.

  • 🌟 1 × Paki Routine Board
    🌟 10 × reo rua magnetic task discs
    🌟 Online access to the Paki te reo Māori resource hub

    Your 10 starter discs are:

    moenga | bed
    kākahu | clothes
    whakaātaahua | grooming
    kai | food
    hū | shoes
    horoi | wash/bath
    niho | teeth
    whakapai | tidy up
    karakia | prayer
    pukapuka | book

    We've chosen these as some of the most useful and common everyday tasks for a typical morning and night routine.

    Each disc uses a simple word rather than a specific instruction so you can decide what it means for your whānau.

    For example, moenga can be used for going to bed at night, or making your bed in the morning.

    The Paki Board grows with your routine and you decide how you use it.

  • The Paki Board has 5 spaces for task discs, allowing you to create a simple visual routine that works for your child.

    Your board comes with 10 magnetic task discs, so you can swap them in and out depending on the routine, time of day or what your child needs.

    The discs are reo rua, with te reo Māori as the main language and English alongside it.

The Paki Routine Board has been designed in Aotearoa by Māori, with careful consideration given to tikanga Māori and how tamariki and whānau will actually use it.

Made overseas from quality materials and designed to be functional, durable and beautiful enough to leave out in your home.

This product has been independently safety certified to the applicable AS/NZS ISO toy safety requirements and is suitable for children 3 years and over.
