Paper or cardstock (preferably red or yellow)

Scissors

Stapler or tape

Glue

Ruler

Pencil

Things to decorate your lantern with: gift wrap paper, washi tape, ribbons, sequins, stickers, glitter glue, small buttons, etc.

4Draw a horizontal line.

Draw a horizontal line one inch from the long edge opposite the fold.

This line is just a guide for cutting and may not be necessary for more mature crafters.

8Decorate the top and bottom edge.

You can keep your lantern plain or decorate the top and bottom edges. Here are some ideas you can try:

a.) Paint or color - make a border by painting or coloring the top and bottom edge of the paper.

b.) Draw details - create patterns and details with glitter glue, puffy paint, or colored markers.

c.) Glue a band - glue a strip of gift wrap paper, patterned paper, washi tape, fabric, lace or a wide ribbon to make a border.

d.) Glue shapes or notions - glue craft foam or felt shapes, small buttons, beads, sequins and other notions.

Remember to leave at least ½-inch of undecorated area on one top corner. This gap will allow you to connect the two edges of the paper to form a lantern.

10Glue the handle.

Take the paper handle you made in Step 2. Glue the ends on the inside of the lantern's top edge. Decorate the handle if you like.

Once the glue dries, hang the paper lantern as a festive Chinese New Year decoration.

Add streamers.

Cut strips of crepe paper and glue these along the inside of the lantern's bottom edge. These streamers will make the lanterns move gracefully with the wind.

Make lanterns in various colors.

Besides the typical red and yellow Chinese lanterns, you can make them in your favorite colors or in hues that go with a particular occasion (e.g. orange and black for Halloween, pastels for Easter) or with your room's color scheme.

Decorate the entire lantern.

You can also decorate the strips in betwen the slits of your lantern. Glue small paper or fabric shapes, draw designs with markers or crayons, or put small stickers all over.

Have fun with some Chinese New Year Science Activities!

This science experiment pack has three exciting science experiments you can do with your children. They're themed around Chinese New Tear, so it's perfect for helping expand their learning in this topic.

Make your own fireworks in a jar, or watch some dancing noodles perform! Activities like making your own floating rice bottle are brilliant for introducing science to your little ones while having fun. Each experiment comes with step-by-step instructions to let you know what things you need and how to make these work. Children will love working with you to make these Chinese New Year science activities. It's great hands-on learning to keep kids engaged and learning more about celebrations. Ideal for supporting your Understanding the World goals!

Plus, each one comes with discussion prompt cards and questions. You can challenge your children to read them themselves or read them together and try to work out the answers. It's a perfect way to start a discussion as a group and get kids thinking critically about what they are learning. Questions like 'what happens to the oil when you pour it into the jar?' while you make your own fireworks in a glass are great for getting children to vocalise the things they see around them. They get to apply logic and talk about their answers as they interact with the world around them.

What other resources can I teach about Chinese New Year with?

These Chinese New Year science activities are perfect for supporting wider teaching on this topic. There are great Chinese New Year PowerPoints that you can use to learn important information about this big event.

Or there are more hands-on crafting activities like this Chinese New Year Crafting Pack that are lots of fun. Why not display them alongside some Chinese New Year Animal Posters to help your children learn more about the Chinese Zodiac?

How are science experiments beneficial to children's learning?

Science experiments are great for making learning memorable and exciting. By theming them, you can bring all kinds of topics to life!

Hands-on learning lets children investigate and interact with all sorts of new and exciting concepts. By applying ideas they have and seeing the effects straight away, children get to have a say in their learning. They can practise both their physical skills as they carefully pour ingredients, as well as working their minds. These experiments encourage children to ask the most important question they can in school: 'Why?'.

They can start to learn more about scientific ideas using simple, memorable examples. For example, it's much easier to understand different kinds of liquids if they can see them interacting excitingly.

Chinese New Year Red Envelope Math Activity

Supplies:
Red Envelopes
Chinese New Year Math Mats (available to download for free at the end of this post)

Black marker (optional)

Directions:

Place some gold coins in each envelope.

I wrote the number of each coin on the back of the envelopes so I could separate them because Little Tiger (age 6) is going to add with them so her envelopes have fewer coins inside. Little Dragon (age 4) is going to count the coins so he will be using the envelopes with the most coins.

Have child select one envelope, open it, and count the coins on the counting mat. Have child karate chop (place arm down on the mat) and slide the coins off to the side, place them back in the envelope and repeat the activity. You don't have to do the karate chop part, but my kiddos always think that is fun.

Have child select one envelope, open it, and count the coins on the counting mat making sure they place them face up (Dragon side). Next, have the child select a second envelope and continue placing them on the counting mat putting them face down. The child can then count to see how many total they have or look at the number on the mat. I have included an addition page where they can write the number sentence on. For example the child would write 7+5=12 according to the photo below.
Number Recognition Activity:
Place coins all the number mat. Have child select a coin, place it in an envelope, name the number, and repeat until all the coins have been removed.
