The Lunar New Year is a time of celebration and renewal in Chinese Culture. Teach the kids about this important Chinese holiday with festive crafts for kids.

Before making the craft, get out a map and show the kids where Asia and China are located. Also, get out books to show important landmarks such as the Chinese Wall and show them pictures of Chinese New Year celebrations.

After the kids are a bit familiar with the culture, gather the materials for the craft. The red and gold materials will resemble Chinese decorations.
