Chinese New Year Fun
The Chinese New Year is a two-week festival celebrated by the Chinese culture at the beginning of a new year based on the lunar calendar. It typically starts between late January and early February. The Chinese New Year celebration is full of dragon dances, Chinese lanterns, and red envelopes bringing good luck!
Each year is represented by a Chinese Zodiac animal. Each animal represents different characteristics and it is believed that those who are born in that year poses those characteristics.
The 12 Chinese Zodiac Animals include Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. All kinds of Chinese New Year fun with each animal!

Benefits of Color by Number Pages
Color-by-number pages have been around for a while, and they are a tad bit different from regular coloring pages and have plenty of benefits.
For starters, the color and number key is given on top of each sheet, which makes it easy for the kids to choose the different colors. This helps them focus on the task at hand, rather than thinking about which color to choose next. Number recognition as well as color recognition!
Secondly, it helps improve hand-eye coordination. You see, in color-by-number activities, the kids have to find the number on the page corresponding to the specific color, which creates a synergy between their visual and coordination skills.
Next, coloring is already a great activity for kids to improve their fine motor skills. It helps them learn how to position their hands and wrists for perfect colored pencil strokes. When you incorporate coloring with color-by-number pages, it works all their muscles to improve their motor skills tenfold.
Lastly, it helps kids with color recognition. The more they fill out color-by-number sheets, the faster they will learn the various colors.
It’s a win-win activity for the parents as well as the kids!
