Keiki Self-Care Toolkits

Posted on: June 27, 2023 | Category: News

Growing My Garden Keiki Self-Care Toolkit logoThe Growing My Garden: Keiki Self-Care Toolkits were created to support parents and caregivers in cultivating “seeds” of mental and emotional well-being in their children, their families, and themselves.  There are four themed kits:  Soil, Air, Water, and Sunshine.  Each toolkit contains books, an activity guide, and take-home activities to support a healthy garden of the mind.   

Visit the Wailuku Public Library on Maui to borrow a toolkit!  A free toolbox will be given away upon checkout of a toolkit (while supplies last). Decorate and then fill the toolbox with your take home activity cards, crafts, and keepsakes as reminders of how to self-soothe, practice mindfulness, and cultivate self-awareness and self-love.
