Peg Doll and Pēpi Waka Sets

To explore the Pacific, early voyagers needed canoes that were strong and seaworthy. Today these are called vaka, va‘a, waka, or wa‘a – depending on where in Polynesia you are.

While this isn’t a traditional waka, it’s a fun visual representation of the many types that have been built over time. A lovely little play set, perfect for explorative play in home, school and learning environments. 

The set includes the waka with a removable sail and double peg holes to fit the two 6cm tall peg dolls. The dolls are finished with non-toxic water based paint and triple sealed - hard wearing for little hands. 

Available in four colour ways - select from the dropdown menu below. A great match with our hand dyed play silks also pictured and available separately.

Not suitable for under 3’s due to small parts and not suitable for water play.

Ethically made and hand-painted in Aotearoa
