This Thursday is the celebration of the Chinese New Year. We will be welcoming in the Year of the Rabbit all week!
Crafts
Chopstick Picture Frame- we'll use wooden chopsticks to make a special picture frame
Paper Fan- a cardboard rectangle and a tongue depressor will be transformed into a beautiful fan
Paper Lanterns- similar to the Halloween lanterns we made last year, these lanterns will be used to decorate our dining room for the new year feast
Egg Carton Dragon- no Chinese New Year celebration is complete without a dragon puppet
Red Envelope- we'll make a red paper envelope and maybe Eva will find some lucky money in it on Thursday
Activities
Chinese Yo Yo- using a spool, some string and two popsicle sticks, we'll make this Asian take on the yo yo
Chinese Character Memory Game- Eva's been getting really good at playing Memory so this version will help her look carefully at the details
Chopstick Transferring- we'll use chopsticks to move felt fortune cookies from one bowl to another
Rice Sensory Tub- the snow is emptied out and in it's place is a lot of rice- one of Eva's favorites
Cooking
Lucky Noodles- we'll make a yummy noodle lunch
Chocolate Covered Chinese Noodles- a sweet treat to celebrate the new year with
Books
