I haven't told Ina yet - and she skips home from kinder singing songs in Japanese (she's learning Japanese). Thanks for the link to Sadako. I know of it, but haven't read it. Making paper cranes is a lovely idea, but if it's beyond the pixies, perhaps you could make cherry blossom trees instead - drawing a trunk and scrunching up tiny balls of pink tissue paper and glueing them to the branches. <br /><br />Love to you Jane xxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432884881847945178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257012568697296973.post-57881653020910637532011-03-19T13:32:23.555+11:002011-03-19T13:32:23.555+11:00Ah, sweet Planetarians!
