Here’s a craft you can stick onto all sorts of surfaces and play with.

Roll a sheet of construction paper in your favorite color into a tube, and attach a magnet with clear tape to one end.

Wrap another layer of tape around the magneted end.

Cut the other end of the tube into a tail shape like a carp streamer.

Then, draw eyes and scales or decorate with stickers as you like, and you’re done! You can stick it anywhere a magnet will hold, so try exploring and see where it attaches.

Here’s an idea that lets you enjoy play and crafts together.

It’s easy to make and great for getting everyone excited, so you can enjoy seasonal events even more.

First, take a toilet paper roll cut in half and make slits in it.

Make five of the same pieces.

After reinforcing an empty box with wooden sticks, next create the launcher.

Wrap a rubber band around a wooden stick, attach a bottle cap (like from a plastic bottle), and stick it onto the empty box.

Finally, attach the carp streamer (koinobori) and you’re done.

This is a carp streamer craft you can throw and enjoy once it’s finished.

It’s light and flies well, so kids can have fun moving their bodies by tossing and throwing it.

Preparation is simple, making it perfect for gatherings with children where it’s sure to be a hit.

Inflate an umbrella bag, twist the opening, and tie it.

Secure the opening with about 15 cm of tape, wrap it all the way around once, and seal it with looped tape to finish! Decorate the eyes with round stickers, etc.

It gets even more exciting if you make a target and try flying it at the target, so be sure to make one and have fun playing!

Let’s swim! Carp streamers!

Rocket Crayon’s Colorful Song Play: Let’s Swim, Koinobori — Hiroba April Issue

Dancing together hand in hand to “Let’s Swim! Koinobori!” You can enjoy various moves that match the lyrics: expressing the bold swimming of the carp streamers by holding hands and making big jumps, showing the power of a giant koinobori by stretching your bodies while keeping your hands joined, and depicting their leisurely glide through the sky with a breaststroke-like gesture.

Watching the children happily dance as if they’ve become big koinobori themselves will make you look forward even more to their healthy growth.

Play Song ‘Koinobori Kids’

"Koinobori Kids" Katsuriki

Here’s a recommended action song for Children’s Day: “Koinobori Kids.” The choreography is simple enough for preschool and kindergarten children to dance.

If you’re looking for a dance to perform on Children’s Day, be sure to check it out! Each movement is big and slow, and the choreography repeats, so with a few practice runs on the day, kids should be able to dance it right away.

Try dancing as if you were a carp streamer (koinobori)!

Hula Hoop Koinobori

Hoop Play Koinobori

A simple game where a child holds onto a hula hoop and gets pulled by an adult is likened to carp streamers fluttering from a pole.

Their clothes may get dirty, but since it strengthens the arms, it likely has a positive effect on physical development.

Children love games where they can move without walking, so they’ll probably be delighted to hang onto the hula hoop.

Adults will need to bend at the waist and use strength, so please watch out for back pain and dislocation.
