Otai Making

Malachi's kindy/preschool has such a diversity of cultures and often parents come in and sharing different food or dance or festival celebrations with the other kids.  It's really awesome.  And considering that Malachi has been there almost 2 years, I we thought it was time to share a bit of Malachi's Tongan culture.  Since it's summer and watermelons are a plenty, otai seemed like the perfect, easy thing to make with the kids.

Tui got all the kids to help scrap the watermelon and mix it in.  They've loved it.  And they loved drinking it too! The asian kids especially loved it, and kept asking for more.

Before he turns 5 and finishes there, I'm hoping to convince Tui to teach them a ma'ulu'ulu....we'll see how that works out....
