Lucky Tree Craft - Repost

One of my favorite holidays will be here in a few weeks... Chinese New Year! Last year I got a chance to go to the parade in Chinatown and it was a day filled with family fun and cramming into restaurants for dumplings and all around good food. 

I recently posted this festive craft on JCFamilies.Com and had the chance to try it out with some students yesterday. All had a great time drawing faces on all the lucky fruits!
