Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is a wonderful holiday to explore with your children - colorful, cheerful, and full of interesting rituals which you can use as an excuse to learn all about China and Chinese culture in the process.

Today we have added some new Chinese New Year activities to Activity Village. As well as the jigsaws added earlier this week, we have a new Year of the Dog coloring page, a Chinese Character Number Poster, and some Chinese character cards which have numerous uses - for games, learning activities, decorations, Chinese New Year cards, and much more!

We have also updated out Chinese New Year links to include lots of information about the Year of the Dog and some fun new activity ideas (including dog origami and papercraft models, new Chinese New Year printables for the classroom, and Chinese horoscopes for the year ahead).
