Lunar New Year
We are excited to go to a Lunar New Year party this weekend to celebrate the Chinese holiday with friends. In preparation for the party, we read a few books that celebrate the Chinese culture. The girls became fascinated with dragons, so we thought it would be fun to make a dragon craft. You will need an egg carton, paint (red, orange, yellow and black), paintbrush, googly eyes, red paper, glue and scissors. Begin by cutting the bottom half of the egg carton in half, lengthwise. This will be the dragon's body. Cut one cup off, to be used as the dragon's head. Paint the dragon's body and head, using the red, orange and yellow paint. My girls liked to mix all of the colors together. Paint the inside of the dragon's head black. Allow the paint to dry. When dry, attach the dragon's head to the body with glue. Add goggly eyes to the top of the dragon's head. Cut a dragon's tongue from the red paper and glue to the inside of the dragon's mouth. Gung Hey Fat Choy!
