Lunar New Year - It's A Rooster Crafts For Kids Hosted By Roosevelt Island Parents' Network Sunday January 29, RSVP Please

Roosevelt Island Parents' Network Coordinator Eva Bosbach reports:

Dear RI parents and caregivers,

We still remember the excitement of welcoming the New Year of 2017, but do you know that, another New Year celebration is just around the corner? Jan. 28 is the first day of Lunar New Year, and this year will go as: cock-a-doodle-dooooooo!

Please join us with your children for the next event in the free "Crafts with Kids" series by the Roosevelt Island Parents' Network: "Lunar New Year - It's a Rooster!". We will make a small rooster and a Chinese lantern. The craft will take place on Sunday, Jan. 29th, 2017, from 11am-12pm, on RI (location upon RSVP).

Please RSVP for the craft via this link:

If you will not be able to attend but would like to make some craft at home, here's some online resources you can use (our crafts will be designed based on these too):

• Chinese New Year Holiday Kid Crafts Templates
• Chinese New Year Rooster Paper Cuts
• a link to show more advanced rooster paper cuts and
• a video of how to make a Chinese Lantern.

We are looking forward to seeing you on Sunday,

- Cecilia, Neha and Eva
