This year, Chinese New Year is the Year Of The Rat.
THE FUN:
Buy red and gold decorations at the dollar store.
Find out what animal you are and print out a fact sheet for each family member to read out loud at the table.
Put money into an origami envelope made out of red paper (red symbolizes good luck).
Make cheater chopsticks so your kids can use them.
Make simple recipes (seriously you don't want to be standing over a stove all day). Try these easy Honey Garlic Ribs with Stir Fried Vegetables and rice.
End your meal with fortune cookies.
