I have printed off some bits from a well known site, we have tried to copy our names in Chinese, made some lanterns and played Chinese restaurants.
Next week we are going to a chinese new year activity afternoon that a group of childminders have organised.
I have Australian mindees so we are celebrating Australia day too and thrown in a couple of scottish activities for Burns night, its a busy couple of weeks!

We are doing pictures of horses where children draw on their eyes and tail and are using wool for his mane or just colouring a horse. We had a horses snack, so apples and carrots. Doing chinese finger blossom paintings, having chinese food and using chop sticks and we have watched chinese dancing on the computer and tried to copy what we see and have used ribbons to dance with, which the children have really enjoyed.
