At this station, we will have a Play House set up with some house items from our Hawaiian culture. Additionally, we will have 'Ōlelo Hawai'i posters to help encourage you to "E 'Ōlelo Hawai'i Pū" with your keiki as they play house.
At this station, keiki can plant ipu seeds to make an ipu starter. We will focus on the 'Ōlelo Hawai'i for plant parts and gardening.
At this station, we will be exploring the 'Ōlelo Hawai'i having to do with Lawai'a and I'a. The keiki will decorate little cardboard fish ornaments to look like a fish that are in Hawai'i.
