Hello there and welcome to our special lesson blog. This month has seen us do many things, but it was learning about Boys’ Day and making carp streamers which stole the show!
Here are the Fluttery Butterflies having an outside lesson to start their carp streamer craft.
They drew various shapes and pictures onto paper using coloured pens…
Dipped them into water…
Then hanged them out to dry, ready for the next step!
Decorating their carp.
Putting it all together and…
Completing their carp streamers!
The Catterpillars used a fun painting technique with some jelly cups.
They also stuck on the carp’s eye.
And this was the result! An absolutely marvelous, Koinobori display.
The Shiny Butterflies drew some great crests.
Many different colours and shapes for their family crests.
They then chose the streamer colours for their “fukinagashi.”
Then painted their crests (the pictures were crayon so the paint dispersed and didn’t cover them!
When it had all been put together…
…A beautiful Carp streamer had been made!
So there you have it, everyone! Thank you so much for joining us and we hope you had fun seeing how we made our incredible, Koinobori carp streamers!
