This past week at co-op, we celebrated Chinese New Year. It was a great time - we ordered Chinese food and ate it off of authentic Chinese bowls, with chopsticks. Thanks to one mom whose brother lived in New York City's Chinatown years ago, we had many other authentic items as well - a child-sized kimono, a parasol, a tea set... There was an activity table with coloring pages and other games, and a display of the different animals used in Chinese years, with personality traits said to be associated with people born during each year. We made Chinese lanterns, read books and, finally, held a parade (several parades, actually, so that the kids could take turns with the different parade costumes).
There are, of course, pictures:
