Japanese Fan Craft
Make this pretty Japanese with your children - or
make a few and create a family fan
hanging!
You Will Need:
A4 (or letter) paper
Popsicle sticks
Pens/paint
Glue
Draw a rainbow shape on your paper, using
our template as a guide. Cut out.
Decorate your paper however you choose. We painted ours with
watered-down poster paint and then tapped over the top with kitchen roll to get
a soft effect, similar to Japanese handmade paper. When it was dry we drew over
the top in Japanese
script. You could try stamping or drawing flower shapes instead.
Glue 4 popsicle sticks together in a fan shape about 1cm from
the end. Now stick the decorated paper to the other ends of the sticks, and you
have a pretty Japanese fan.

family fan hanging here.
