Making Japanese Paper Bags

Newspaper and Origami

We were very lucky to have the Higo family come to our preschool and do a Japanese newspaper bags workshop with us. The workshop combined “Newspaper and Origami“ to make a new form of eco bag. Misa explained to us the origins of the making of the eco bags.

“There is a very beautiful river in my hometown. However, it was polluted every year due to environmental pollution. The townspeople stopped wrapping things in plastic to protect the beautiful river, and they made newspaper bags and put the product in it. Newspaper bags are packed with Japanese origami technology and a desire to cherish people’s environment”.

Misa and her aunt from Japan make some newspaper bags and brought them to our preschool. In the workshop we made whales by origami with children and then decorated the newspaper bags with origami. Misa and her Aunt showed the children many types of paper bags and told them about the impact of plastic products on whales. We are so thankful for this amazing experience of sharing beautiful culture and environmental awareness with our children.

What Our Families Say

Sharing Brayside Preschool Experiences

Scott and Lola

The culture that Janette fosters at Brayside is all about providing a safe, fun, enjoyable environment for children to flourish. The group of women that work at Brayside are not kids straight out of school looking for a job. They are women who have typically had their own kids and choose to work at Brayside due to their love of utilising their teaching qualifications and caring for children in a great preschool.

Loved this preschool. My daughter was going here and she was always happy there, loved going and wanted to go on her days off. My son who was too young to go also loved being there. The classroom and outside areas are amazing always with new areas set up for the kids to explore.
