Rotorua is being encouraged to celebrate its future and treasures this weekend - our tamariki.
Every year, on the first Sunday in March, there is a national day Te Rā o Ngā Tamariki Children s Day which celebrates the young people in our lives.
This year the Redwoods Children s Day - an afternoon of nature-based stories, art, music and forest adventures - has not been able to take place.
Childrens arts and community advocate, Jill Walker, is encouraging people to still take the time to celebrate spirit of the national day.

Additional funding has been added to the latest Rotorua District Creative Communities Scheme round, meaning more than $52,000 is available to support Rotorua arts initiatives.
With nearly double the normal amount offered, applications are being sought for this funding round which closes on March 6.
Rotorua Creative Communities Scheme administrator Julie Parsons hoped the additional support would allow a wide range of different arts activities to take place in Rotorua this year. This is a real opportunity for creatives to make a difference in the lives of Rotorua people by helping them to participate in the arts, Parsons said.

So far, activities have included Lego, board games, mystery art bags, poi making, coding, and stop motion animation.
On Wednesday a number of children turned up to the library to get creative and have fun while learning.
