Back-to-School Aloha: Easy Tips for a Smooth, Happy Start

🎒 Back-to-School Aloha: Easy Tips for a Smooth, Happy Start 🌺

The first day of school is right around the corner! Whether your keiki is starting preschool, kindergarten, or heading into a new grade, it’s a big (and sometimes emotional) moment for families. Here are some simple, heartwarming ways to get ready for a smooth, aloha-filled back-to-school season.

📝 1. Create a Morning Routine Together

Talk with your keiki about what mornings will look like. Practice getting up, brushing teeth, picking out clothes, and packing a backpack. You can even turn it into a little game or checklist with stickers!

🐾 2. Read a Lolo Kiko Story About New Adventures

Snuggle up and read a Lolo Kiko book about trying new things or making friends. It’s a sweet way to remind kids that new adventures can be exciting and fun — just like Kiko’s island discoveries.

🌈 3. Make a Back-to-School Lei

Welcome the new school year by making a simple paper or yarn lei for your keiki to wear on their first day. In Hawai‘i, leis are given to show love, celebration, and encouragement — a perfect good luck charm for little learners.

🍍 4. Pack a Special Snack

Surprise your child with a favorite island-inspired treat in their lunchbox — like a pineapple cup, coconut chips, or a little note that says “Aloha, you’ve got this!”
