Does your child have a wish or goodwill blessing he'd like to send out to the world? Traditionally carrying messages of peace, compassion, prosperity, or happiness, prayer flags are a rich part of Tibetan Buddhist culture. Encourage your child's interest in other countries and cultures by helping him create his own colorful prayer flag inscribed with a special message to share with the world.

What is a prayer flag? A prayer flag is a colorful panel or rectangular piece of cloth often hung along mountain ridges in the Himalayan mountains to bless the countryside or send out a message of goodwill. Prayer flags are thought to have originated in Tibet, and later became associated with Tibetan Buddhism.
