Crafty Crow's guide to the Chinese New Year

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Ox. To help your family celebrate the holiday which lasts 15 days Crafty Crow has posted a pretty thorough compilation of ideas. The list includes ideas for making crafts like these sweet projects on Kids Craft Weekly--I'm loving the ox mask, an egg roll recipe, some suggestions for books like Oliver Chin's newest addition to his ever-growing Chinese New Year series titled Year of the Ox: Tales from the Chinese Zodiac and many other suggestions. They've also linked to an outstanding blog full of extra stuff like recipes, the history of the holiday, song and more. Whip up some tasty Chinese food, make a few dragons, slip on yer ox masks and parade like a maniac. Gung hay fat choy!
