The Lunar New Year is an important celebration in the Chinese culture and an opportunity for your family to explore a new special holiday. As 2025 is the year of the snake, you can make with your kids a Chinese New Year snake spinner craft.
Snakes are an important symbol in Chinese culture, representing wisdom and prosperity. By making a snake coloring craft, kids can learn about the Zodiac animals and be engaged in a fun and creative activity.
The Chinese New Year snake spinner craft uses only a couple of supplies and will require that kids color the two patterns.
The cover features the word 2025 and the wheel has a snake on one half and the words: Happy Chinese New Year on the other half.
The Chinese New Year holiday is celebrated for eight days in 2025, starting in January and ending in February. It is followed by the Lantern Festival in February.
Our snake craft is fun and easy to make with preschoolers, kindergartners and elementary school-aged kids in the classroom, if you are a teacher, or at home with mom, on a cold winter day. Even better if you have snowy days where you live and you need engaging crafts to keep kids busy and entertained indoors.
