Aloha!

Aloha! Hawaii conjures up images of sandy beaches, volcanoes, sunshine and floral leis.  Our MWF classes are lacing leis for our Super Summer Seashore Safari.  We have taken apart hundreds of old silk flowers. The children use a large tapestry needle and yarn to create their own leis.  They lace a flower and then a straw (we also use pasta).

Want to keep the summer shining at your house?  You can make your own leis with cupcake liners.  Check out http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/string-of-paper-petals-664172/ for directions. Buy a pineapple or some tropical fruit for snacks.  Have you been to Hawaii?  Get out your photos to show your children.  Find your Hawaiian name at http://hawaiiannames.hisurf.com/
