(01) Keiki Kaukau
Known as “Hawaii’s Toy Company” — Keiki Kaukau celebrates Hawaii’s unique blend of cultures and tropical wonder by creating tropical-themed toys that are culturally-relevant to the Aloha State. The words Keiki Kaukau actually means “kid food” in the local Hawaiian dialect!
Based in Honolulu, HI — their selection of Hawaii-themed wooden toys celebrate Pacific culture of all walks — a Hawaiian style wooden plate food set — plus chunky wooden puzzles for Filipino cuisine and for Vietnamese pho — although not all of them are made in Hawaii.

Turn the crank and watch it move like magic, Mari’s exercise-themed creations make for an entertaining and unique Hawaiian gift.
