Chinese New Year

So we are quickly approaching our next holiday for our family. I am still relatively undecided if we are going to do any thing for our extended friends and family, but today Sammy and I talked about Chinese New Year. Ok, well I talked and he listened and pretty much chattered to himself :-)

I actually planned ahead for a change and requested some books from our library and were thrilled with them



We liked them both but Sammy LOVED the red book since it was a pop up kind of book with tabs to move the chopstick, or envelope to open to show "lucky money" it had a dial that you could turn and see what Year it will be and what year you were born in. It is the year of the Tiger btw...

Sammy especially liked this part of the book.


After story time was done, we moved onto the oh so important craft time of our day. I seriously feel like every picture I get of him is in his booster chair! I promise he isnt in there all day, he just actually sits still then...for the most part.

We ordered these super cute chinese new year stamps...








and I ordered these cute CNY foam stickers too...





We were planning on doing fried rice and potstickers for dinner, but the rest of the day got away from me and it ended up being pizza night :-)

We will see what we can create next week!!! Caterpillars anyone??

Blessings
