Children's Day in Japan

Handmade koi kites

These koi kites were made by kindergarten-age children from paper. I did an almost identical project in kindergarten 25 years ago, except we overlapped squares of tissue paper in lieu of scales. This is a fun, fast, and easy project for small children on Children's Day. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bridgmanpottery/863852369/
