First, we made carp kites. Carp kites are a traditional decoration in Japan, especially around Children's Day. We made our carp kites out of magazine "scales" and some crepe paper.
We also learned the Japanese characters for "book" and "river." Japanese is much harder than English!
Finally, we made Japanese fans by drawing our own designs on paper, folding them like an accordion and then gluing them to popsicle sticks.
Our carp kites and the Japanese writing are on display in the library. Come check it out!!
Next week, we'll celebrate Independence Day with some great crafts, games and stories. Join us!!
