Well after making half a dozen to see them all collapse in a heap we finally got there in the end

I did the cutting out the children did the rest

This is the website I used

We also made a fan

I used finger paints for both the lantern and the fan I found it easier with the children only being 2 and 3 years

wow they look fab. We are going to tackle these next week - fingers crossed they turn out like yours :thumbsup:

Brill, they look fab! Going to make these next week too - nice and easy, not messy, children can take them home.

They look great Angel

After seeing this we made them using felt tip stamper pens and the results were really good.

Thanks Angel. I have only just returned to childminding after my fathers funeral and hadn't even realised it is Chinese New Year! I hope to have a go at these tomorrow - I need a distraction and I think these lanterns may just fit the bill!

Love
