Otorohanga NZ Kiwiana Town
The Buzzy Bee™ is New Zealand's most famous children's toy.
This brightly coloured, wooden pull-along toy has been handed down from generation to generation and is now regarded as a major New Zealand icon.
There would be few New Zealanders that don't remember playing with this charming little toy in their youth.
The Buzzy Bee is a popular toy in New Zealand.
It resembles a bee with rotating wings that move and make a clicking noise while the toy is pulled along the ground.
Possibly based on an earlier American concept, it was designed and first produced in New Zealand in 1948, by Hec and John Ramsey.
It became popular during the post-war baby boom.
Its bright colours and clicking sound call are familiar to many New Zealanders, making it one of the most well-recognised items of Kiwiana.
Since this time however, the Buzzy Bee has branched out into various merchandise including books, jigsaws and clothing.
