Te Kōhanga Reo Waipawa: Tiny tamariki visit huge tractor

Stevenson and Taylor gave the tamariki a tractor of their very own, to take back to Te Kohanga Reo Waipawa.

The tamariki got to see the tractor on the move, then they were able to check it out close-up, climbing up into the cab and trying the drivers’ seat out for size.

“Even the tyres are bigger than me”.

When they left the delighted tamariki had a tractor of their own - a child-sized ride-on that Stevenson and Taylor donated to the kōhanga.

Stevenson and Tayor marketing co-ordinator Ella Tweedie says they have been having a great time recently doing tractor visits to CHB early childhood education centres.

The tamariki checked out the driving position and visibility.

“We have visited nearly everyone. It’s a great opportunity to engage with the children while they are young, get them interested. It’s also very satisfying to be able to give back to the community.”
