Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 5–Aesthetically pleasing with their bright colorful pages, clear concise instructions on the left side and photographs of various stages of the final product on the right, these books include 10 crafts each. Introductory pages offer brief information about the holiday. New Year includes directions for making a dragon-streamer puppet, a ribbon lantern, Chinese zodiac pictures, and more. In Cinco de Mayo, children learn how to make a peace votive, sombrero, and paper poncho, among other things. Use of everyday items such as paper cups, cupcake liners, and construction paper makes these activities practical for both students and teachers.– Tanaz Sutaria, John Gomes Elementary, Fremont, CA

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for introduction to CNY crafts, January 20, 2006

This review is from: Chinese New Year Crafts (Fun Holiday Crafts Kids Can Do!) (Library Binding)

If you are new to celebrating CNY or want to introduce the holiday to children who've never celebrated, then this book may point you in the right direction. If you are familiar with CNY, then these crafts aren't anything you wouldn't have thought of on your own.

Includes very basic instructions for banners, paper fire crackers for holding candy, puppets, lanterns, noisemakers etc. The illustrations are good, and the materials are things that you would probably have around the house already.

I'm always looking for good crafts to do with our cross-cultural family, but this book was just too basic.
