I wrote a post previously about how we love the Story of The World. The activity guides have some fun projects. Right now, we are in early modern times and studying Japan's history. Shoguns, Samaurai's, and Daimyos. oh my! We did this fun project this morning:
This is a Japanese wind poem. You can write a poem or wishes on the strips of paper and then hang them outside. They believed that the wind would carry your poems or wishes away. It's fun and pretty, and gives you a chance to discuss superstition with your kids.
