今日はウィンタースクール最終日。

新年にちなんで、子どもたちは「門松づくり」にチャレンジしました。

紙を切ったり、丸めたり、筒の形を作ったり…

指先をたくさん使いながら、「どうやったら本物みたいになるかな？」と考えつつ、夢中になって取り組む姿が見られました。

松や竹の形を一つひとつ丁寧に作り、思い思いに飾りつけをして、世界に一つだけの素敵な門松が完成！

出来上がった作品を手にすると、「見て見て！」と嬉しそうに見せてくれる子どもたちの表情がとても印象的でした。

ぜひお家に飾っていただき、

新しい年を迎える温かな時間を、親子で一緒に楽しんでください。

Today was the final day of our Winter School.

To celebrate the coming New Year, the children worked on a special craft — making kadomatsu (traditional New Year decorations).

They cut and rolled paper, shaped tubes, and tried many different techniques, using their fingers carefully while thinking, “How can I make it look like a real one?” The room was filled with focused faces and excited voices as they worked.

Piece by piece, they created the shapes of bamboo and pine, then added their own decorations to complete a one-of-a-kind kadomatsu. When their work was finished, many children proudly held up their creations, saying “Look!” with big smiles on their faces.

We hope you will display their beautiful kadomatsu at home and enjoy welcoming the New Year together as a family.
