Beavers – Japanese Fish Kites

This week we made Japanese Fish Kites and we also made origami fish!

Japanese carp kites, or koinobori, are a tradition, started by samurai families, symbolising strength, courage, and perseverance. Today, koinobori are a central element of Children’s Day festivities, symbolising the hopes and dreams parents have for their children’s future success and happiness.

A really big thank you and well done to Hedgehog who led a great session. We had great fun slapping on lots of paint and enjoyed the challenge of putting everything together.

Here are some photos and videos of us enjoying the evening and showing us carrying out the activities:
