Making a Purerehua by Tavita
Purerehua
A purerehua is a traditional Maori musical
instrument, It can also be called a bull roarer.
Children make simple purerehua to use
as a spinning toy to watch the colours change.
Equipment:
Scissors
Colouring pencils or highlighters
Wool or string
Cardboard
Pencil
Cup to trace around
Instructions:
1 First get your card board and cup.
2 Trace around the cup on the cardboard.
3 Cut with scissors around the circle.
4 Decorate the circle with patterns from your culture
5 Get your scissors and put crosses about 2cm apart
in the middle.
6 Once you have finished your crosses use the scissors
to cut holes in the middle.
7 After that get the string and put it through the holes.
8 When you have put both ends of the string through
the holes tie a knot.
Now your Purerehua is ready to use. Hold one end in
each hand and rotate the string until it is twisted up.
Now pull the ends out away from each other.
The Patterns are great.
