Story Book Art for Chinese New Year



This week in story book art we learned about the upcoming Chinese New Year and how this year is the year of the horse.

We talked about  family traditions in China such as a big dinner, cakes, tea firecrackers and of course, the story of Nian. We talked about banging pots and pans to scare away this monster.

The children made an accordion dragon and decorated it with red and gold. We practiced cutting out our own dragon legs.


Happy New Year Everyone!!
