Origami Carp Kite

On Children's Day in Japan, families hang out an array of colorful carp kites to symbolize their children growing up healthy, determined and strong.

We had fun with these, stringing them on a chopstick for decoration and also sticking them onto a popsicle stick to decorate our plant pots!

For Chinese New Year
Goldfish are a symbol of prosperity for the Chinese and you can adapt the traditional carp kite by folding it with orange paper. Fill it with little sweets or gold coins for a special gift!
