Last year, Emma and I recycled glass jars and made these Chinese New Year lanterns. See this previous post for directions.
I've been thinking that since it's the year of the Tiger, we might need to get creative and make a few tiger lanterns. I've got loads of orange and black tissue paper left over from Halloween and a refrigerator that needs to be cleaned again. I'll have to let you know how it goes after this weekend. In the mean time, here a few ideas that I found online that can be printed off and colored. Completely toddler friendly...woo hoo!
