Our Chinese Lantern

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

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
