Foods For Chinese New Years

Chinese New Year is January 26 this year, which will be the start of the year of the Ox.

Since we won't be doing as much to celebrate this year as we did last year (last year we were studying China), I am posting some of last year's projects.

We used the recipe for Dragon Eggs from Jan Brett's website and colored the picture of the dragon on the recipe before gluing the printed page into Blaze's logbook.
