Let's Make Red Envelopes

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

This activity is a great way to make your child learn about different cultures. One of the best-known Chinese New Year traditions is the practice of giving red envelopes.

Contents

Requisites: Red construction paper, ruler, scissors, glue stick, pencil, gold glitter pen, money and sticker.

Steps:

1. Using the ruler, have your child measure a 6” x 6” square on the red construction paper and cut it out.

2. Show your child how to take the bottom corner and fold it into the centre of the paper.

3. Now, help your child take the right corner and fold it into the centre of the paper, creasing the paper firmly. Use the glue stick to attach the right side onto the bottom side, making sure to leave the envelope pocket open.

4. Take the left side corner and do the same. Glue it on top of the other folded paper, making sure the envelope pocket is still open.

5. Now, fold the top corner down, but do not glue it down. Turn the envelope over to the other side.

6. Decorate with Chinese characters using the gold glitter pen on the envelope.

Once the craft is complete, let her put in some money and give it to a loved one as a way to spread good will in the New Year.
