Celebrating Hinamatsuri With Fan Crafts
At Makikio's Daycare Center in Riverton, they learned about Hinamatsuri. Hinamatsuri is known as, "Doll's Day," or, "Girls' Day," in Japan. It is celebrated every March 3rd as platforms covered with a red carpet-material are used to display a set of ornamental dolls representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period. In honor of Hinamatsuri the children made their own fan crafts!
Fun and cool fans
The kids used paper plates that they decorated with all kinds of beautiful imagery. They created images of dolls and used crepe paper along with feathers and other items to make some gorgeous fan crafts! It was an educational and fun time!
