WeeWork Kids Craft: Chinese New Year Drum
Submitted by Anna Fader on
It's no wonder that Lunar New Year has become such a popular celebration with kids, even outside of cities with big Asian populations like New York and Los Angeles. There are so many fun rituals associated with the holiday. Plus, the celebrations go on for 15 days with lion dances, dumplings, and lanterns galore.
One of the core rituals of Chinese New Year is to scare away the mythological beast Nian with loud noises and the color red. These little Chinese New Year drums are fun to make and even more fun for making a racket to scare away evil spirits. Gong hey fat choy!
