We had a day all about Japan at our local Home Ed group this week.

We learnt about New Year traditions including making an Ema (a wooden tablet with prayer or wish for the year on),

practised origami,

made sushi,

learnt about Buddhist pagodas,

did manga drawing,

made votive dolls for girls day and carp streamers for boys day (both occurring later in the year),

looked at Mount Fuji

and made sand volcano's.
