Eating has never been an issue for my kids. They love food. Seriously. Have you seen their bellies? This, coupled with the Bub's love of literally all food (he'll even eat broccoli), make this shirt by Hi Star perfect for them both.
And yes, tomatoes are fruit :) parts of plants that disperse seeds are fruit! Hopefully this will convince Pumpkin to eat more zucchini and squash. Tho I'm not holding my breath.
Hi Star, is a fun, educational brand started in Hawaii by two best friends. They have fun designs that serve a dual purpose in teaching. Pumpkin sang the A, B, Cs all day while wearing this tee :) The keyboard is printed upside down so she can read the keyboard!

And this shave ice tank dress is darling and I love how this tank dress teaches the different color families.
And now a little more about the line.
Why did you decide to start your business?
Our business was developed as a creative outlet for myself as a former elementary school teacher. So I knocked on my brilliant and business savvy best friend’s door and asked her to collaborate. I have a master’s in education and wanted to style our children in clothing that was educational, interactive, and COOL. I have a ten month old daughter and a four year old son. My bestie, Leina, has two boys, four and six.
What inspired your brand name?
Hi Star Clothing, is inspired by the saying “reach high for the stars,” and we treasures the belief that every child is a star. Hi is not a misspelling (that would be silly for an education brand), rather “Hi” is the abbreviation for our home state of Hawai’i and the birthplace of Hi Star Clothing. Hi, is also a welcome greeting to our little Hi Star explorers, and an invitation to be early learners.
Any advice or lessoned learned from your experience?
Leina and I are both lifelong learners. Nothing is ever finished or perfect. We now have a greater respect for the creative process, when a simple concept develops, grows and morphs with the nurturing of a team...the results can be magical. It gives us a greater appreciation for the contributions of others.
What are some of your goals for the year?
We want to have playgroups with our local HI Star explorers, our first will be launching this September on the island of Oahu. We also want Hi Star to be a forum where parents and children can share fun, cool learning activities and ideas. We love seeing little Hi Star Explorer learning through play in their Hi Star gear, so please email us your pictures and videos so we can feature them on our social media and website.
What is your favorite thing to do, all for you?
All for us, without kids (smile). My favorite thing to do is to beachcomb, looking for treasures on the sea shore. Put on a mask and snorkel, and dive for sea shells (washed up shells, never live ones because I try to be ecologically responsible and some species of cone shells can be deadly). Leina enjoys hiking to explore all the hidden gems and sites of our island. Her favorite hike is Hawaii Loa, a trail that takes you through the belly of the East Side of Oahu and out to a cliff overlooking Kailua.
What's something unique about you that most people don’t know?
I have a major sweet tooth and always need dessert. My bestie, on the other hand, is obsessed with sushi, so we end up at a lot of sushi joints, and our children are starting to become hooked as well.

If that doesn't make you want to relocate to Hawaii I don't know what would. So beautiful.
