To celebrate Chinese New Year, we have 3 crafts for you to make. Today we’re making Red Lucky Packets.

You will need:

  • Red paper or card
  • Chinese-style pictures, words or drawings
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Pens to decorate
  • Help from a grown-up!

To make:

  1. Choose a rectangle of red paper or card
  2. Fold the rectangle so the bottom makes a pocket , leaving the top to make a flap
  3. Glue the sides together inside
  4. Decorate the front of the packet

If you leave your packet out you may have lucky money put in it on Chinese New Year!

Have fun!
