へのへのもへじ

Henohenomoheji (へのへのもへじ)  is a face drawn by Japanese school children using ひらがなcharacters

This one says へおおくのむ
this one is へままつゆひ

What characters can you see in this one?


You can also draw animals。
Try and guess what characters are drawn in the others and see if you can create your own..
