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. 

December is such an exciting time of the year for teachers and parents but can also be a very stressful time. Whether it’s decorating the classroom or home or preparing for holiday parties and gifts, the list of things to do can pile up so quickly. That’s why we made a sled-ful of fun Chinese Christmas activities to keep your little ones entertained without screen. These printable hands-on activities are perfect for preschoolers, kindergartners, first and second graders learning Chinese.
Our comprehensive Chinese learning resource library has something for everyone. In this special holiday post, I will share with you our top favorite Chinese Christmas activities and our newest creations. Feel free to explore the many holiday collections yourself to find activities that your little Chinese learners are interested in.

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!
