We celebrated Children's Day this week. It is celebrated earlier in the year in Japan, however as we are learning about festivals, it was relevant to us now. You can read up on Children's Day from Wikipedia, if you would like to find out more. These carp windsocks or koinobori are displayed all around Japan for children's day.
I found a template for these kites on Activity Village. I drew some tabs on the left hand side of the paper, beside the eyes. When my students had coloured the kites in, we placed a glitter pipecleaner under the tabs and taped them down. We added streamers to the tail end of the fish. Some students also chose to staple the paper together in the middle. We threaded a piece of wool under the pipecleaner and tied the ends of the wool together. They look really great hanging in our classroom.
