This Chinese New Year snake decoration craft adds a festive touch to your decorations and offers a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about Chinese traditions and the significance of the Lunar New Year.
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, is celebrated based on the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar used in most of the world.
This means that the date of Chinese New Year changes each year, usually falling between January 21 and February 20.
The celebration is deeply rooted in centuries-old traditions and customs, symbolizing the start of a new lunar cycle and honoring ancestors, making it a unique and culturally rich festival.
A fun way to celebrate the Year of the Snake with your kids and family is to decorate your house using red and gold, which are traditional colors symbolizing good luck and prosperity.
