Nagano Rainbow ~Dondo Yaki! (January 26th-February 2nd)

Hello everyone! I hope you keep warm in this chilly season. Rainbow was lucky to play in the park this week in nice weather.

Craft

We made a monster mask for the setsubun. It is a festival held on February 3rd, the day before the start of the spring season. The famous ritual is mamemaki, in which people drive evil spirits from their homes by throwing soybeans out the door and shouting Oni was soto! Fuku was uchi! Some of us were scared when we saw the finished mask we made.

Park

Every time we go to the park, we are always surprised by how they can find new ideas while having fun. They collected and put the dried pine tree leaves together, saying they would do a dondonyaki. Some say to bake a cake on their collected dried pine leaves. Their imaginations are just simply astonishing!

Worksheet

Continuing our monthly theme, transportation, we matched the cut vehicle pictures and colored the others. We both did our best fantastically!

Thank you again for reading, and see you again! Have a lovely weekend! Stay warm always.
