My group planning is here :D
I got fortune cookies from Tesco last year
Miffy xx
egg carton dragon or snake....
finger painting using red and gold paint
make lanterns....
We are having Lychee's for pudding. Well, I'm offering them... Secretly I'm hoping the children won't eat them so I can!!! And making hats like the ones in the catalogues, wide brimmed. We have some chinese clothes in the dressing up box to wear and I'll let them try to use chopsticks that are banded together with a wedge of paper so they have some chance of success! Times like this I'm so glad I have big children who can join in so the little ones learn by watching!!!!
there is a recipe for home -made fortune cookies on activity villiage website not tried yet but hope to next weekQuote:
