Ring in the Year of the Rat With These Fun Chinese New Year Activities
Author: Jolanda Garcia
February 7, 2008 — The Year of the Rat. For many people, Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration of the year. It is a time of celebration, eating special foods, cleaning and decorating the house, giving gifts, fireworks, and getting ready for the coming year. The color red is believed to be lucky, so people traditionally wear red clothes and give children “lucky money" in red envelopes. Family members gather at each other's homes for visits and shared meals. Festivities usually end with the lantern festival, highlighted by a dragon dance. With your children, ring in the New Year with the following fun Chinese New Year Activities
Chinese New Year Dragon
The dragon symbolizes strength, goodness, and good luck. Help your child make a simple dragon. Use an egg carton with three cups and have children paint the cups with red and yellow colors. Draw a dragon face shape and decorate with cotton balls and wiggly eyes. Cut yarn
Toddler Winter Craft Ideas
This is where your list of toddler winter craft ideas also becomes your life line and your sanity. As a parent there is one place you can never avoid - the kitchen, hence this is the best place to stick your list of toddler winter craft ideas.
You toddler winter craft ideas list needs to grow with your toddler - as he learns and progresses so will your list. You will also find out which crafts he/she enjoys most and be able to develop more of these. It is worth speaking to the other mothers who have been driven out of the parks by the rain and cold and suggest that they too have a toddler winter craft ideas list, this way you can all swap ideas and the list will extend fairly fast, with tried and tested ideas. When you are developing projects for your toddler winter craft ideas list you need to choose projects which are suitable for your toddlers attention span - short. If an idea does not work do not write it off as a failure, simply pack it up for that day and try again another day, or discuss it with another mother who may have an idea how to adjust it to make it more successful.
A good starting point for toddler winter craft ideas is the simple paper plate.
