IntroducingMy Lei Pua: a wooden bead threading set for the flower child in your life! “Threading beads” are a staple of Montessori classrooms, where little learners hone their motor skills and exercise patience as they manipulate chunky, bright beads perfectly sized for keiki hands. For extension activities, ask older children to identify the flowers, count the beads out, or thread them in a repeating pattern.
The painted wooden beads are made to resemble some of the most ubiquitous pua of Hawai’i: pink and white plumeria, purple and green dendrobium orchids, pale lilac crown flower, and orange puakenikeni. We hope they remind your little one of Hawai’i's natural beauty wherever you go!
Created by a Hawai‘i mom and school teacher, Keiki Kaukau (meaning “kid food”) offers a unique line of quality toys representing Hawai’i and Pacific Rim cultures. Because children begin to understand the world through play, Keiki Kaukau underscores the value of kids seeing themselves and their culture reflected in their toys and belongings. The brand features a joyful collection of children's products including books, puzzles, games and more -- all inspired by island living. Because good nourishment is at the foundation of healthy child development, Keiki Kaukau has partnered with the Hawai‘i Food Bank to donate five meals for every Keiki Kaukau and More Keiki Kaukau food set sold.
