Hi has anyone got or know where I can get some decorations from?

I was going to do a big display but not sure where to look?

Thanks in advance x

There is a handprint dragon kit here:

Do you have a chinese supermarket anywhere nearby? Last year I got some good authentic decorations very cheaply from the chinese supermarket in Leeds city centre, along with chinese dragon puppets, lucky money envelopes and various foods.

I've just looked and there are 4 in Sheffield, never even thought to look

Thank you x

I'll let you know what I find

That's cute - should be reasonably easy to copy

We are going to make a trip to the Arcadian entre this year to do shopping in the Chinese supermarket.... there's a few of us going all together on the 22nd after we've already looked at some of the Chinese ideas together so the children get more out of going!

I took my pre-schoolers to our local Chinese restaurant. They have an all you can eat buffet and at lunch time it is only £5.95 per adult and last time they did not charge me for the 2 little ones I took.

They really enjoyed the experience although all one would eat was chips and ice cream - so not very Chinese!
