On May 5th we celebrated what is known in Japan as both “Boy’s Day”- Tango no sekko & “Children’s day”. On Boy’s day koi carp kites are flown outside your home to symbolise the strength of the koi carp that can swim against the water current. We used a connector block to make a stamp for the fish scales that we all made.
Then after finishing our koi carp craft we started making our Mother’s day craft. We really needed to listen to and follow directions, which is all part of the learning.
We cut, folded, pasted and wrote words of love on our cards. We hope all our mother’s know how much they are appreciation and loved and most of all had a wonderful day with their family!
