Crafts: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

This afternoon, Ian woke up earlier than usual from his afternoon nap, and so I decided to make a paper lantern with him for the upcoming Chinese festival.

I drew lines on the construction paper for Ian to cut, and then helped him paste onto a paper towel roll.  Then, Ian got to paste some stickers as decoration. 

This was an activity that he enjoyed tremendously...

After he had completed with the stickers, I poked 2 holes and pulled a chenille stem through them as the handle.

I was not able to find a stick around the house for a proper handle, so Ian had to make do with the chenille stem for the time-being.  He played with it for a while, almost destroying the lantern.

When Hubby returned home at night, Ian showed the lantern to his Daddy, and Daddy found a balloon stick for the handle!  Now, it looked better...

We wish a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to followers of this blog!
