Celebrating Year of the Sheep

We are only 10 days away from Chinese New Year 2015 – Year of the Sheep. Here are some of Chinese New Year activities for kids that will help them connect to this holiday.

Year of the Sheep on Planet Smarty Pants

Smarty will be in Germany during Chinese New Year, and I doubt very much she will even remember about it unless I remind her when we talk on that day. However, we are honoring our love for Lego when it comes to Chinese New Year – check out our Lego Zodiac Animals. You can also teach your kids about China with our China Unit Study for Elementary School.
