Origami Frogs Ages: 5 and over. Location Global Canadian Heritage Trail
Hop on over and try your hand at the
Japanese art of paper folding. Using
brightly coloured paper, children
can create as many frogs as their
imaginations will allow. With a few
simple folds of a flat sheet of paper,
and help from the Edmonton Japanese
Community Association, magical
amphibians, cultural symbols of good
fortune, will leap to life
Timbits Ages: 6 and over. Location: Front Plaza, Visual Arts Tent
Kids explore the art of kite making
using bright colours to create a

recycled paper and a chopstick into
their own unique kite. Streamers

your butterfly aloft

This interactive workshop teaches
children that written Chinese words play
multiple roles beyond their phonetic
sound or acceptable meaning. Using
authentic tools, children discover their
own Chinese zodiac animal symbol,
how their personality reflects that
animal and how to write simple words
such as “peace”, “joy”, “love”,“prosperity”, and “butterfly .”
