About Kai

Hey! It's Kai here! Self-made paper multi-squillionaire and philanthropist ...not.

(I'm actually a children's book illustrator living in the UK).

This little party supplies shop started by accident when I made a Nintendo-inspired printable "question mark" box and shared it on Instagram (@KaiHopono). Suddenly, a hundred people had downloaded it and were making it! It was EXCITING and INSPIRING!

Fast-forward 5 months and now I have this small Shopify shop.

People keep asking me, "where I get all the ideas from?" and I say, "I steal them from my nieces and nephews". 😅 — it's not really true but it is funny so I keep saying it. 

The paper craft activities on this website are designed to be enjoyed by kids of all ages AND THEIR PARENTS! (hopefully).

EDIT: And I’ve just added downloadable planet-friendly party favors too. 

They are based on the Montessori principles: 1. Kid's choosing their own activity, 2. Using materials that invite exploration and 3. That "Play is the child’s work" — I think we can all do with playing more, don't you? 

I've made my designs into digital download planet-friendly party favors (party bag fillers in the UK). The paper craft activities will also be released as books in May '26. Available at Amazon. Join my newsletter if you want a heads up.

So try out my little sparkling stars of creativity that add a touch of that ...last-minute party magic to your parties and rainy afternoons.

Thanks so much for stopping by and being a part of this community. I hope this brings a LOT of bright colour and fun times into your day, week, year. 

Oh and don't forget to drop me a message in the comments somewhere so we can say hi! 

I don’t bite, but I do talk to my houseplants 🌼❤️
