My First Festivals
Chinese New Year
Season 1 Episode 5 of 10
In this episode, we join Isabel as she celebrates Chinese New Year. Isabel receives a lucky red envelope from her family in China to begin the celebrations for a brand new year. We watch Isabel get creative as she helps her mum and grandma make lanterns to decorate the house with. Once the lanterns are complete, they head to a Chinese school to learn all about the year of the pig and how to do some traditional Chinese paper folding. After some crafts, Isabel goes to a farm with mum, where she visits some real pigs and even gets to feed them. When Isabel and mum return home, they enjoy the New Year with all of their friends and family. Isabel finishes the celebrations by leading the dragon in a Chinese New Year parade.
