These adorable crafts are made by our Joy Tots teachers. The jelly fish was a craft all its own, but they said they may keep the jelly fish around for Tanabata and addit to the holiday decorations.
Tanabata is a Japanese holiday that celebrates the union of Orihime and Hikoboshi. It is originally a Chinese holiday and in Japan they say that on the night of July 7th if the sky is clear the couple will meet in the sky.
School children all over Japan will make cute decorations representing to couple and the Milky Way.
Another cute tradition is to hang wishes on small slips of paper on a bamboo tree. You will see these in Department Store, outside of small shops and restaurants, near schools, and outside of peoples homes as well.
