Fold, toss, and take it home! Stop by the KidZone at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival to make summer-themed Japanese origami and Japanese-style bean bags. It’s a wonderful way to discover the artistry and playfulness of Japanese crafts, and every little maker leaves with something handmade and uniquely theirs. No experience is needed, just bring your curiosity and a little summer spirit!
