This mooncake papercraft is the perfect introduction to the world of origami!  I made this origami with my nephew of 3 and half and it was a piece of cake for him or mooncake I would say.  It’s definitely the easiest mooncake paper craft you can make with preschoolers and kindergarteners.  Not to mention that they get to learn about the Chinese character “month/moon” [月 | yuè] while they are at it!

We are kicking off October this year with a visit to the local pumpkin patch!  This weekend we went to Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch.  Every year they set up a beautiful pumpkin patch in an empty lot next to a small park.  It’s beautifully decorated with a wide range of pumpkins, scarecrows, witches, families of skeletons (with pets, too), and many more. 

The 4th of July is a monumental date in American history, it’s also one of the most fun holidays to celebrate.  Barbecues, watermelons, and fireworks are all my favorite things!  This year, go all out and celebrate with your family and friends.  And don’t just celebrate on the day of, we have plenty of printable activities that you can do to make it extra special for your kids learning Chinese.
