It’s Halloween in the Menehune village! There is so much excitement in the air!

Halloween is Pala’ai 's favorite time of the year. This year, Pala’ai is dressed up as a little witch.

She carries her Pumpkin and zooms on her broom to the Menehune Ohana (family) casting blessings and magical spells of Aloha (love) upon everyone she meets.

Pala’ai’s happiness is contagious and in no time all the Menehunes wear big smiles on their faces, sharing their favorite Halloween treats, Mai’as (bananas) and Kahikis (pineapple), with each other.

Pala’ai’s Tutu (grandmother) surprised her with a gorgeous witch costume. She crocheted a black lacy panties and little pointed shoes. Then Tutu sewed a black witch hat and cape and an orange skirt with a matching top. The color orange symbolizes joy and sunshine and matches Pala’ai 's mystical spirit.

Tutu wove green and yellow flower leis which Pala’ai wears around her hips and hat. Tutu also crocheted the Pumpkin, and embroidered a face onto him. Then Tutu gave Pala’ai a Plumeria flower to put behind her ear and her magical kitchen broom, because a witch just has to have a broom.

Pala’ai’s witch costume was Tutu’s gift of Aloha (Love) to her Mo’opuna (granddaughter). Pala’ai loves to wear it. It makes her feel like a real little Hawaiian Menehune witch.

Pala’ai is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Pala’ai has tiny little hands and feet, buttocks, and a belly button. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Pala’ai is not a dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!
