Origami Carp Kite
On Children's Day in Japan, families hang out an array of colourful 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!
