Well, we celebrated the Chinese New Year at G's school tonight! I came in a did a little thing with all the kids!!! (20 two year olds)
Here we are just after we were finished. G looks so cute in her Traditional outfit! (Thanks Bethany!)
When the kids woke up from their naps, we did snack time. I brought in Mandarin Oranges...
Fortune Cookies and Sesame Wheat Puffs.
Then I read them all a little book. Kai Lan's Chinese New Year! They all sat so great for the first half of the book and then I was losing them so I did one of those quick wrap ups after that!!!
Then it was coloring time. I formatted little coloring books from pages I found on the internet. They loved them!!
Sorry, can't share any of the group shots because I didn't get permission from all the parents.
Then I sent each one home with a little Chinese New Year Favor!
Included was a CNY info card, a CNY notepad, a Sesame Wheat Puff, Fortune cookie and a chocolate Gold Coin in a makeshift red envelope.
These were the goodies before I started the favors.
This was the card I threw together from images and text off the internet. I found this cute tiger for the front and I put a kiddie zodiac on the back.
Just some little facts I found so the parents knew what I had told the children and what the treat bag was for since no parents were there.
A couple lasts photos once we got home.
Overall...a SUCCESS!!

PS everyone loved Ella's Christmas ornaments you made...I will need to order more next year (if you do them again)...I think her Aunties were jealous that only her grandmothers got them!!
I vote you Mom of the year...my goodness I took the coloring pages and dropped off the books...you went all out..love it!

Any chance you would be willing to share your card via email. I am doing a lantern festival activity at my daughter's school on Thursday. I have treat bags but I love the idea of the card for the parents.
