Art Around the World Japan Year 2,3,4,5,6 Japanese Arts and Crafts

Get your students making and creating beautiful arts and crafts from Japan with this pack of 5 hands-on activities. Creating multicultural art is a great way to celebrate the diversity within our classrooms and around the world.

In this pack you’ll find five activities that include origami, ceramics, printing, writing Japanese kanji, and watercolour with markers.

Visual step-by-step instructions are included so even if you’re not confident teaching art, students will be able to create something they can be proud of. You can either use these to outline the process, or the easiest option is to print copies for each table (or display them in plastic stands if you have them), for students to follow the instructions themselves. You could set these up as stations for students to rotate around, or do one activity per day.

• U.K and U.S versions optimised for A4/Letter paper, spelling and vocabulary
• Origami box
• Kimono using origami, watercolor, and markers
• Printing a landscape or koi fish
• Fortune cat
• Write Japanese kanji

• Cartridge paper A4-A3 size, coloured paper

I hope your students enjoy creating Japanese art and feel super proud of what they make!
