I also like th fact that they inlcude the phrase "Happy New Year" in English, Chinese, and pinyin (a system that uses letters to indicate how the words are pronounced.) And some are soo cute! There are lots to choose from, with 15 in portrait orientation and 155 in landscape orientation. It's a quick and easy way to celebrate Chinese New Year, The Year of the Tiger.<p></p>Elhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09152938315173732502noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424836156940150041.post-14166205124457005052021-12-18T20:33:00.011-08:002021-12-20T13:58:44.074-08:00Craft Ideas with Printablesfor Year of the Tiger<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh2FMih02W5zrKyYbnk72eeamBCWkZiXAZZ8novxdUcySsu_AVRNh9f-4cU9yw94wnLlMVwYbIBs3KFBFXb9GHfNxmiWZTcuzA3LmN4nUZojwIJWdr6X14PRsZLqpx6KmaB1IzDl8CJ2J09FGbs_hCkr_XJjYrug_OThNkND7EJ_GtF_rdPbtdETsD_-A=s1056" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1056" data-original-width="816" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh2FMih02W5zrKyYbnk72eeamBCWkZiXAZZ8novxdUcySsu_AVRNh9f-4cU9yw94wnLlMVwYbIBs3KFBFXb9GHfNxmiWZTcuzA3LmN4nUZojwIJWdr6X14PRsZLqpx6KmaB1IzDl8CJ2J09FGbs_hCkr_XJjYrug_OThNkND7EJ_GtF_rdPbtdETsD_-A=w494-h640" width="494" /></a></div><br /> Adele Jeunette has been busy. She is interested in China because she's mom to a daughter from China. (So am I.) And she has put together a whole bunch of articles with craft ideas for 2022--the Year of the Tiger. They are so easy to make because she includes peintable patterns. All you have to do is print, color, cut, assemble, and go. She has lots of quick ideas like books, coloring sheets and lanterns. <p></p><div>Here is <a href="https://hubpages.com/@adelejeunette">Adele Jeunette's site. </a> You'll see all kinds of articles with printables for Chinese New Year crafts.</div><div><br /></div>Elhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09152938315173732502noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424836156940150041.post-22561264659242160892021-12-11T13:12:00.003-08:002021-12-11T13:34:21.139-08:00Printable Crafts for Chinese New Year: Year of the Tiger<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja2VjFtIjpsd9wggRr-zsMAYyUYRt-tqpNIJ1nvDpsPKtFMXn1k14dGAi8RuQBeoRQKJfT871K7s2V6xm7uOyDq7P5hZRJ-MgorO9tOuMQ2wn51CU3nrhAQf6As3Z73BvkgH3LcqanVrjH/s1056/Header+photo+for++for+Year+of+the+Tiger+-+blog+post.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1056" data-original-width="816" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja2VjFtIjpsd9wggRr-zsMAYyUYRt-tqpNIJ1nvDpsPKtFMXn1k14dGAi8RuQBeoRQKJfT871K7s2V6xm7uOyDq7P5hZRJ-MgorO9tOuMQ2wn51CU3nrhAQf6As3Z73BvkgH3LcqanVrjH/w494-h640/Header+photo+for++for+Year+of+the+Tiger+-+blog+post.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><br /> Who knew there were so many crafts to make for year of the tiger.

One of the traditions of Chinese New Year is to give lucky red envelopes with money--especially to children and other unmarried relatives.<br />
<br />
Red is a lucky color for the Chinese, and the writing on it is often done in gold to symbolize prosperity.<br />
<br />
Click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/dog-projects-CNY">here</a> to get a printable pattern. Print it out on red paper and use a gold Sharpie or crayon to color in the character for dog.</div>

I've been reading books about China for 20 years.You see, I adopted a little girl from China back in 1999. And ever since my husband and I made the decision, I've been reading all kinds of books. Picture books, chapter books, folktales. Books for girls. Books for boys. Books for moms and dads.<br />
Books about food. Memoirs. Histories. Books about people living in China. Books about Americans who went to live in China. Books about Chinese basketball teams.<br />
<br />
I've gathered the best of all the books together with reviews on the website <a href="https://letterpile.com/books/best-books-about-china-for-adoptive-families">Best Books for Families with Children Adopted from China. </a> Take a look. I'm always updating it.</div>

For the longest time, mostly girls were adopted from China. But, in the last few years, that has started to change, and we are seeing lots more boys.<br />

Here is the second booklist with Everyday Diversity titles. This one is geared to the youngest children: babies and toddlers. Here you can find books about babies with diverse heritages who pal around with doggies, get a fish for a pet, go to bed, and put on red socks in the morning. The point is that they are all in everday situations that are more or less universal to the little ones.

Have you ever wished there were books that showed kids that look like your kid, doing everyday things? I was always happy to find books with Asian characters for my daughter, but lots of them took place in ancient China, or in Chinatown. I wanted to see books about things like visiting going to the library, or working out disagreements with playmates, or losing a tooth, that happened to have a main character with Chinese heritage.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
This site, and the one mentioned below, have lists of books with diverse main characters involved in a variety of things--reading books, playing with blocks, riding the bus, dancing--you know, things that all kids do. Some of them are Asian, though it would still be nice to see even more Asian characters. But I feel it's important to read our kids books with pictures of all kinds of heritages so that they see all the cultures of America reflected in the books they read.</div>
