This year is the year of the tiger. We read Who is the Beast? by Keith Baker. This book is not about China or Chinese New Year, but it is a great picture book featuring a tiger, and we happen to love reading it.
After reading this book, I gave C and R white card stock with the outline of a tiger's face drawn by me on the paper. They placed the paper in a cardboard box, added a few squirts of orange and black paint, and dropped in a few marbles.
They worked together to shake, tilt, and spin the box for some fun marble painting.
Happy Chinese New Year!

Those tigers are awesome!
I LOVE the whole process of how you made them. They turned out great!
D is for Dragon Dancing is one I wanted badly, but it was out with tons of requests, so I couldn't get it.
Those books sound like fun. I plan a lot of China activities for the next week, but this book didn't quite cross my radar. Maybe next year :)
