Kūtai Pouaka Kai

Introducing the first piece of our Kakai Collection: Te Pouaka Kai

Elevate your tamaiti’s lunchtime experience with our innovative, bento-style Pouaka Kai in the beautiful Kūtai (green) – a durable, versatile lunchbox that stands up to the daily adventures of tamariki and is a breeze to clean at the end of the day. 

Our lunchbox brings te ao Māori to your child’s mealtime through karakia. With vibrant colours drawn from te taiao, our pouaka kai are designed to spark creativity and bring joy to your tamaiti’s day. With four spacious, well-sized compartments, they’re ideal for packing a variety of foods – from yoghurts and salads to fruit and veges – all staying sealed and fresh throughout the day!

Also available in Māhoe (purple) – with each pouaka kai featuring a karakia print of either Taumaha tini or Nau mai e ngā hua.

Features:

• BPA Free
• Microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe
• Leak-proof design

Taumaha tini karakia translation:

Give thanks for the countless blessings from above, and the many from below. May this food be consumed, and sustain and nourish us deeply, bringing abundance and fullness for all. 

Nau mai e ngā hua karakia translation:

Welcome the gifts of food
from the sacred forests
from the cultivated gardens
from the sea
from the fresh waters
The food of Tane
of Rongo
of Tangaroa
of Maru
I acknowledge Ranginui who is above me, Papatūānuku who lies beneath me
Let this be my commitment to all!
Draw together! Affirm!
