Chinese New Year Envelopes
This activity was created by my good friend, Katie Goedde, art teacher at Truman Elementary School.
First, fold a red square paper in half, two times. Unfold the paper, and fold each corner toward the center. Using a sticker or piece of tape, adhere three of the inset edges, leaving one flap free. Children with experience making "fortune-teller" origami games will have no trouble with this!
On the face of the red envelope, using a gold-colored marker, draw your zodiac sign. This envelope shows the symbol for "lamb". Since this is the year of the rat, you may choose to draw that particular symbol.
Write a positive message to a friend or relative, and seal it in the envelope for Chinese New Year gifting!

Love this activity and I will be doing it with my class (minus the money). Feb 7 is Chinese New Year?
Nice use of the elmo.
