    My kids love learning about different traditions and celebrations. Weston is the type who remembers any interesting facts that he learns so he remembers a lot from what he’s learned in the past. Chinese New Year is almost here and he’s been sharing everything he knows with all of us. It’s an opportunity for us all to learn. Food is one thing we love to share and this year Ling Ling Potstickers are helping me plan an easy Chinese New Year meal for my family!

    5 CHINESE NEW YEAR FUN FACTS FOR KIDS

    If your children are like mine, then they love learning fun facts about everything! They also remember them much better than I do and like to remind of what they know at random times. Holidays and celebrations from our country and countries around the world are great opportunities for kids to learn some interesting things.

    We pulled some of our favorites that are also easy for even the youngest minds to remember! If you do have younger learners, check out our Chinese New Year printables for some fun activities for them.

    The date of Chinese New Year changes every year.

    It follows the lunar calendar and is based on the moon’s movement. It most often falls somewhere between the middle of January and the middle of February. This year it’s on February 5th.

    Chinese New Year starts a new animal zodiac year.

    My kids have always been intrigued by the Chinese Zodiac after seeing it on a menu at a local Chinese Restaurant. 2019 brings us the Year of the Pig.

    Decorations are mostly red.

    In the Chinese culture, red symbolizes happiness, wealth, and prosperity. It can also ward off evil spirits and bring good luck so you will see lots of red decorations.

    Families set off fireworks to celebrate.

    Just like we do, families celebrate with fireworks. But the biggest firework show in the world is on Chinese New Year’s Eve!
