Ha! I spent last night once the children were in bed cutting out 60 dragon masks ready for storytime later this week… (we’ll be reading Sam and the Luck Money, and Long-Long’s New Year, then decorating the masks, having a parade, and making chinese money to put in red envelopes…)
Lovely! Wish I’d seen these before I made my New Year’s card, I went with boring green for my dragons, red and blue would have been better.
