1日 TODDLER TEAM

Today is a fun day! We celebrated the Setsubun which is known in English as "Bean -throwing festival."  Throwing the soybeans outside the house or at an oni (demon) to drive away the bad spirits/bad luck.

Our little friends are gearing up, wearing their handmade paper caps and bags.

Ready and excited for the fun activity! 

Our teacher having a short lesson about the Setsubun. When throwing the beans, we should chant the words: Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!
in English: Demons outside! Good luck inside!

Everyone are busy practicing how to throw the paper beans to the oni. 

Our teacher dressed up as an oni and looked at our brave little friend throwing beans at her.

Some are too scared to throw some beans. 

Scared but will still throw some beans to get rid of the oni. 

Too scared to get near the oni. Some are just staying in one corner crying out loud. 

With the help of our dear friend we were able to get rid of the oni. 

That's all for today!
Thank you and have a nice day!
