Chinese New Year: Year of the Horse

Happy Chinese New Year! - 2014 is the Year of the Horse

To celebrate Chinese New Year we went out to lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Chinese New Year is also known as Spring Festival. We also learned about Chinese New Year traditions and made a paper dragon puppet. You can find the paper dragon here: http://www.craftjr.com/dragon-paper-craft/
