Orchid wreath - free coloring page

Aloha December!

As our morning feels a bit chill in he island and see small snow cap on the top of Mauna Kea, we know itʻs this time of year and feel so happy and blessed! 🎄

Though this Christmas will be different, and not all of us will see the family because of pandemic, I want to continue remembering Him and praising Him for all what He has done for us and all His blessings this Christmas season.

"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you," Psalm 55:22

Momi - a free coloring paperdoll

I made a free Momi coloring paper doll for ocean loving keiki (children) or anyone who is kid at heart :D

Momi mean "pearl" in Hawaiian. In natural world pearls are formed and become more "pure" in oysters in response to an irritant. I think of this as us becoming more pure and more like Jesus, in response to our world experiences in our Father's hands with His love. Matthew 13:45-46 talks about the story of "pearl".

I hope you are all well and healthy during this difficult time of Covid-19.

Keiki Heroes project

Last few weeks, I had the privilege to work with community design team on "Keiki Heroes" project, that to help children in Hawai'i to cope with covid-19, based on the values of kindness and compassion.
I was asked to do in comic style, so it's my first experience. Our first phase is almost done, and two designs of posters/flyers were delivered to various schools and libraries. Free coloring pages will be available soon from keikiheroes.org

Honu_free coloring pages

I made free coloring pages of honu, for your keiki, as we have seen so many honu, Hawaiian green sea turtles, lately.
During past three months of stay-at-home, I had more time to practice my Hawaiian with online course, so I also added a Hawaiian number sheet. I hope your keiki will enjoy them.

Aloha e malama kekahi i kekahi,  love and take care of one another.
Live aloha, speak aloha and share aloha.

Happy National Orchid Day was this week.

Orchid is Big Island's island flower - we are calld 'Orchid Isle'. When you go to the east side of Big Island (wet side), there are several National Parks: Volcani National Park, Hawai'i Tropical Botanical Garden and Akatsuka Orchid Garden, where you can view so many different kinds of orchids.
Among many kinds, I chose my favorite orchid, Phalaenopsis, to illustrate; it has rounded cute petals with so many sweet pastel colors. I hope you enjoy coloring it. The photo is taken in our yard:)
Aloha and take good care, Yuko

plumeria_ free coloring page

Due to the spread of covid-19, many residence stay and work from home since last week in Hawai'i. I pray everyone is healthy and safe. As I see many sad news each day, I pray and wonder what I can do besides praying...and thought about making flower coloring pages for others to download and color at home. It might be not much, but it might offer an activity to stay connected to the Words, while coloring and praying. Today's flower is plumeria...I hope all of you stay well.
Me ke aloha pumehana (with much love), Yuko
