We’ve always found it valuable to learn about other cultures.

I love it and my girls love it. They’re learning about the different corners of the world. They see people’s differences and celebrate them.

We chose China this time because Chinese New Year was happening soon (today actually), but an exploration of another country can happen at anytime. Choose two or three activities from this list. Find a couple of books at your library (or Internet resources). And then, have fun learning about another country together. It’s an incredibly valuable experience.

You can start with these fun China activities for kids.
