In celebration of the year of the dragon, brighten up your classroom with these easy-to-make lanterns. There’s nothing more iconic than the lanterns that light the streets in China during their New Years celebration. The tradition can be traced as far back a 250 B.C. when Buddhist monks carried torches on New Year’s Eve, hoping to spot the Buddha himself. Today, some locals make bamboo frames and cover them with silk, but for your classroom, construction paper should do just fine!
