Christmas Around the World - China

We are off to learn about another country and their holiday customs. We started with China which sounded close to the country that we live in. In China, not many people celebrate Christmas. It is mainly in the big cities where you will find trees and decorations even though they don't know exactly what they are celebrating. In our country, they use the trees for New Year's Eve so you may see some Christmas things around, if you are lucky.

We read about Christmas in China and discussed the similarities with our country. She colored a Chinese paper doll for her bag book.

We also read about Chinese New Year and then watched the Dragon dance (link below).

After watching the Dragon dance, she colored a Chinese mask for her bag book.

Her finished China pages for her bag book. The bag book is slowly getting larger and larger. The finished project will be awesome.
