Why not make a role play cafe for Chinese New Year.. write up proper menus like at the restaurant.

You could start with sweetcorn soup, then noodles or rice with favourite meat / veg and finish with oranges :D

Try making some Lamingtons - cakes covered in coconut - very Australian...

You could make this out of salt dough, rather than proper cooking and that way all the ages could join in and then you could have a dinner.
