Happy Chinese New Year!

2011 - Year of the Rabbit

The 2011 Chinese New Year begins with blistery cold weather ( at least to us here in the south) and hopefully snow, an unusual treat for us Austinites. Here’s a fun indoor craft to do with your kids – mini lighted paper lantern:

  • Make an origami cube or ball out of a square piece of paper. Two links to well-illustrated instructions: How to Make an Origami Cube on eHow and Origami Ball on Hardin K-12.
  • Before ‘puffing’ out the ball, unfold one of the four flaps and put a glowstick, LED throwie, or in our case, an LED clip-on light inside the ball.

Here’s another fun thing to make on an indoor day – homemade fortune cookies.
