Halloween is almost upon us, and I hope you have a great time!  November 3rd is Culture day in Japan.  I remember celebrating it just 2 weeks after my arrival there in 2001.  It was the first time I tried on a kimono.  I’ve always been interested in different cultures, and living in Japan was the first time I was really able to immerse myself in a culture.  In honour of  culture day coming up, and looking through the varied ideas shared last week with Mom’s Library my features of the week focus on multicultural activities for kids.

To see all of the great ideas submitted, be sure to check out last week’s Mom’s Library where I focused on sparkling spiders.
