1. Oahu artist Barbara KaMille’s love for Hawaii’s native culture and natural beauty has always influenced her works, which include sculptures of sumo champion Akebono in Waimanalo and Hawaiian kapa cloth expert Puanani Van Dorpe at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. But it’s her art of turning traditional baby portraits into visually captivating scenes that is attracting parents.

Using watercolors to create mystical backdrops for her photos, KaMille transforms moms into beautiful mermaids and dads into their Hawaiian aumakua, while little ones appear to ride atop sea turtles and dolphins. The finished creations are printed on canvas for artful display.

Prices vary; find KaMille at Booth 331 or visit arttotouchyourheart.com.

2. Mom and Dad might not be able to afford a Lamborghini Aventador, Maserati GranCabrio or Jaguar F-Type, but keiki will be able to get behind the wheel of pint-sized versions of these luxury cars at the Baby & Toddler Speedway. For $10, kids can ride for about five minutes on the indoor track. And if they’re too young to navigate traffic, adults can drive the electric cars for them via remote control.

Expo producers say all the cars on display will be available for purchase, with prices ranging from $500 to $700. Some include leather seats, MP3 players, USB/SD connectivity, and functioning front/rear lights and horns.
