cute!)

Younger children will enjoy colouring, then folding, these cute origami
dogs - one of which even has a "Happy Birthday message"!

Looking ahead to Easter now, when giving chocolate isn't enough, these
Easter "gift envelopes" might do the trick!

We've also been updating our "Japan for Kids" pages (ready for
Children's Day on 5th May).
Japanese otedama
These fabric beanbags used to be sewn by grandmothers from silk kimono
scraps, and are used for juggling games and skill games similar to jacks
and knucklebones. An easy sewing project which makes a lovely game or
gift idea. We also have some Otedama games
We discovered Daruma dolls, which are designed to help when you are hoping
for a wish to come true. They are a perfect way to think about goal
setting and perhaps even set your own goals or make your own wishes, with the help of
our little printable booklets!
