Red and Gold

Chinese New Year Playdough
*******************
We put it in the sensory table and let the kids add gold glitter.  The next day, we added dragons and rocks and other little materials.




Red Lanterns
*******************
It was SO nice to let the kids take the lead on their lanterns. They needed very little guidance, and they all turned out more or less unique despite the craftiness of this activity. 





The Dragon Dance
*******************
Guada let the children make dragon-like streamers to dance with to a rhythmic "dragon" song.
