The FREE kit is geared for second through fourth grades (I adapted some of it for Josie's preschool and plan to use it with her Kindergarten class this year), It includes:
- Panda Express’ Year of the Dragon DVD
- Year of the Dragon Fact Sheet
- Jade Emperor’s Interactive Game & Activity Sheet
- Chinese New Year Decoration Art Activity
- Lai See Activity Sheet
- Bookmarks (with a Free Kids Meal with purchase coupon attached)
I also placed an order with Oriental Trading company for mini red envelopes
that I'm going to fill with Chinese chocolate gold coins.
I also ordered dragon masks that can be colored.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing lots of other dragon and CNY crafts.
As you can see, Josie is very proud
of her homemade paper dragon.
Lots of dragon crafts coming soon.

good morning Kim! I think its so neat that you celebrate the chinese new year and I'm looking forward to all your posts about it. I bet Josie loves taking her kit to school and feels very special talking about it with her class. (and I bet they go home and tell their parents that they want to celebrate it too!!)
