Book Review: Chinese New Year Crafts

Monday, February 22, 2010

I picked up this book from the library called Chinese New Year Crafts:  Fun Holiday Crafts Kids Can Do! by Karen Bledsoe.  It's a nice collection of easy Chinese New Year crafts to do with young kids.

The introduction explains about Chinese New Year fireworks, dragons, feasts, parades, and the Lantern Festival.  The crafts include New Year Banners, Good Luck Characters, Chinese Zodiac Pictures, Paper Firecracker Candy Holders, Noisemakers, Dragon Streamer Puppets, Dragon Costumes, Red & Gold Bracelets, Ribbon Lanterns, and Chinese Papercuts. 

My little one especially liked the Chinese Zodiac Pictures, but all of the crafts in this book look fun to do.

I love doing crafts w/my daughter, but need a book like this to help me with ideas.  Great pick!

Looks good...

Thanks!  Definitely going to look for it.  Sounds like something fun to do with my son.  And a great way to learn more about the holiday.
