Awesome resource and a beautiful display when finished. I purchased it alongside the Chinese lanterns and have students a coffee between the two for their poetry unit. Really nicely designed.

A great activity for Chinese New Year Art. Students loved creating their own fans and were extremely engaged when using the dice to help “choose” each pattern for the different sections. We used watercolours to paint them and they turned out beautifully! Great resource!Ā
