BeautyScope 239: Lantern festival

Our school holds a stunning Winter Solstice Lantern Festival where each grade makes and carries a different design.

Have you ever participated in one? Or made a paper lantern?

  1. Is that central one a mouse balloon light or a pumkin balloon light? Or just a mysterious mid-winter light? Any which way, its all magic!

  2. Lovely lighted lamps looking like lifting balloons ready to float away! The silhouetted children make a great edge to the horizon too. D&M xxxx

  3. I've always wanted to participate in a lantern festival, it looks so serene and the paper lanterns always remind me of the exotic east.

  5. awww!
    happy childhood memories! the brother of my granny organized every august a summer party in his big garden. this parties were unusual huge for our part of the world - with extra installed swings for the kids and lots of homemade food (he was a baker), life music, torches, italian lights all over the garden and a lantern march across the village with the uncle on front with a accordion - and finally fireworks!!!
    although we used shop bought lanterns it was a wonderful day and night - so rare at that time.....
    greetings to your creative kids!!!
