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.
Multicultural Activities
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.

October 31, 2013 at 2:00 pmThese are all wonderful features Crystal! We are raising world citizens so it’s great to see how other people introduce other countries and cultures to children. Thanks for including our link by the way! I bet Japan must have been a very enriching experience. 🙂
