Make Chinese Fans (art link)
You need rectangular pieces of paper around 40cm by 15cm. The children make Chinese pictures choosing from these alternatives:
- Use wax crayons to draw tree branches and leaves, then finger paint to add blossom
- Painted dragons
- Wax crayon lanterns
Next, fold the paper like an accordion to make fans. Secure the fan at the bottom by wrapping it with a thin strip of paper, glued in place. Pull out the folds to make the fan.
