Lucky Chinese Fish

This morning the kids participated in an activity at the library all about the Chinese New Year. They listened to a story and then a women that was from China spoke to the children. She told them that the first writing were carvings and then later on came paper. She taught them how to write in Chinese and say hello and bye bye. After she was finished speaking the kids made a lucky fish to hang in our home. June Bug was a great help. He was volunteering this morning for a few hours. The lady in charge of the program said, "I really couldn't have done it without him, he's great." We are always so proud of him!

Luck Chinese Fish directions:

Draw an outline of a fish on construction paper. Cut out the center of the fish. Take a sheet of contact paper and put the fish on top of it (so that the fish is stuck to the paper). Tear pieces of colored tissue paper and put them in the center of the fish. When the center is completely covered put another piece of contact paper over the fish. Cut out your fish, punch a hole at the top and put yarn through it to hang.

What a great way to end our month on China! On Tuesday we are having friends over to make Pot Stickers and that will officially end our study!
