According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2012 is the "Year of the Dragon." Celebrating Chinese New Year can be a blast for kids as well as a grand learning experience!
They can learn the appreciation of deep Chinese history as well as a lot about the culture while having a great time. There are special foods that are eaten during Chinese New Year and I'll be back with some recipes for you and the kids to prepare for your celebration!
Meanwhile, here's a little about the Year of the Dragon...
The Year of the Dragon begins on January 23, 2012 and ends on February 9, 2013. The Dragon is
the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac which consists of 12 Animal signs.
The Dragon is a creature
of myth and legend. In ancient China, the celestial
Dragon represents an emperor and power. Today, it is the
ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and
happiness. May the celestial Dragon bring great good luck to
everyone.
Happy Chinese New Year!
Come back in the next few days for some fun recipes for celebrating and head to the kitchen with the kids!
Happy Cooking with Kids,
