Looking for fun kids indoor activities to keep the kids occupied and help them learn and develop their creative skills? Making koinobori fish for a kids' birthday party or celebration is a perfect fun activity, especially when you can't meet up in person or want to involve friends and relatives interstate.
Koinobori fish are traditionally made for children's day in Japan on May 5th. Landscapes across Japan are decorated with koinobori from April to early May to honour children in the hope they will grow up healthy and strong in the future. So let's make them together to provide us with a powerful symbol during this difficult time, plus they make things to do at home really beneficial to your kids.
In this live online class, you will:
  • Make two koinobori fish to hang in your windows, to send out a message that you are doing OK!
  • Learn how to make a koi fish based on the traditional Japanese koinobori which translates as 'carp streamers'.
  • Work with a young person to assist them to construct their fish (this is a great adult/child project).


Knowledge required
No prior knowledge but children will need an adult to help.
