What are the Lunar New Year Folding Cards?

Three pages after the cover, one card each. The gatefold card has two flaps, two lantern halves and a greeting to trace, and the pop-up card has five steps and a lion head to glue on the step. The arched card has two arches to glue back to back, with Happy New Year to trace and February 6, 2027 printed on it.
Can I use the Lunar New Year Folding Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade Lunar New Year resources are there?
⌄
17 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 77 Lunar New Year resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Lunar New Year activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Lunar New Year resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Lunar New Year resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
