13 Lunar New Year Activities

The beauty of celebrating different cultures is that you get to learn and create in so many different ways. With Lunar New Year just around the corner here are some invitation and activities to implement in your classroom or home. Whether it is celebrating art, music, food, symbols, traditions, and so on, exposing children different elements of a culture is essential and meaningful. The more children learn and are exposed to different cultures in the classroom and their homes, the more knowledge and understanding we provide for everyone while making every child feel seen and heard in their community.
