Lessons & Activities
The Japanese House at the Boston Children’s Museum is a home where a real Japanese family used to live. An important part of their lives was the changing seasons. They celebrated the seasons with art, food, festivals, and more! Here you will find activities to help you learn about Japanese culture.
