Happy Lunar New Year!

Here are some pictures from our Lunar New Year celebration. The children made the dragon head from a cardboard box, tissue paper, and found objects (the eyes are detergent bottle tops and dog show ribbons!). The body is a table cloth.

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Here are some more Lunar new Year themed cutting works out in our art area...

For the year of the ox a great printable from http://secret-agent-josephine.com/blog/year-of-the-ox-cut-out/

A simple three dimensional star. Just draw two stars of the same size. I made a template and ran off a bunch on my printer. I find cardstock works best. After cutting out the outline of the stars, make one cut from the valley between two points to the center of the star. Do the same for the second star. Join the stars at the place where you made the cuts by sliding them together.
