Chinese New Year ... time for dragon dances and fire crackers. It's a 15 day celebration that starts with the new moon and ends on the full moon. The 15th day of new year is celebrated with the Lantern Festival, with lantern displays and children parading with lanterns at night.
To get into the mood, we created free printables specially for Chinese New Year. Using Sakura Floral Batik design, we created paper lanterns and a toy dragon. They are great fun, even for those who don't celebrate Chinese New Year, and we're sure you'll enjoy making them with your kids.
We made some the other day (printed on semi-gloss photo paper) so you can see what they look like.

Here are the Sakura Floral Batik paper lanterns.

Here is the Sakura Floral Batik toy dragon.
