Kodomo no Hi - a Japanese FREEBIE!

This is our first year "celebrating" Kodomo no Hi, Japan's Children's Day. With Mag having one Japanese uncle and another Japanese almost-uncle, I'm not sure how we missed this event in past years... but anyway, better late that never.

For today's focused fun, we learned color names in Japanese. There's something fun (and easy!) about color names in other languages, isn't there?

I made a mini-poster and a coloring sheet for this activity, which are available for FREE at my TpT* store. The poster is in Japanese (complete with Japanese characters!). Each coloring sheet combines Japanese with 1 of 4 languages, English, Spanish, French, or German, making them perfect for school, homeschool, dual language immersion programs, everyone!

      Thanks for the shares, Becky! Such a fun way to get some new travelers through! No, I'm not on the fb page you mentioned, because guess what... I'm not on fb. I know, hard to believe, isn't it? But it's on my to-do list, so I'll be checking out that page when I get there. Thanks for the heads up!
