Archery for All
Oahu dad Phil Doerr’s team uses foam-tipped arrows to teach adults and kids the art of the bow and arrow. Kids ages 5 to 15 years can take aim at inflatable targets or get in on a safe Dodgebow game. Party packages can be set up in spaces as small as driveways or garages and include two-and-a-half hours of fun with a senior instructor, staff and all the bows and arrows you need.

Best Local, Organic Cotton Candy
[ Editors’ Pick ]
Spun Paradise
Taking a bite of Spun Paradise cotton candy is like taking a bite of airy, melt-in-your-mouth banana, coconut, mango, lychee, watermelon and more. Hilo mom Danna Eady started spinning the organic sweet for one of her kids who is allergic to red dye. Now the company offers nine versions, all featuring pure, fruit flavors without artificial dyes or ingredients. One other family-friendly feature: Spun Paradise comes in a resealable tub so your little ones can save some for later.
Available at Eden in Love, Hukilau Marketplace at Polynesian Cultural Center and spunparadise.com, (808) 365-3272.
