The Bub in the Belly

So this week is going to be about our Chinese New Year 2014, which was back in February. Better late than never, eh?

Leading up to Chinese New Year, Ryan's preschool had a week of Chinese New Year themed activities. I was invited to be in charge of one of the sessions, which also meant sourcing for materials for the session. The children voted on what activities they wanted to do at the session, and we ended up with lantern making, cherry blossom art and paper cutting. I got all the stuff they needed and took charge of one of the stations that day, which was the lantern making one. The children were super excited to make the lanterns and it was a lot of fun for me to be with them.

I was quite inspired after that day to make more lanterns. I looked up some tutorials on the internet and I made one every night! Ryan would bring it to school the next day and soon his classroom was full of lanterns.

Here are some of the lanterns I made.
